Drowned from the yatch leo, on her way from Lorain to Cleveland.
The second to be found cast upon the beach was Con. P. Ritter. He was born in Penn Township, Alleghany County, Penn., June 15, 1860, and was on the day of his death 29 years, 3 months old. His home was until he came of age, in Penn Township and the vicinity of Verona.
He was a student at Duff's College in Pittsburg, where he graduated. On his 21st. birthday he left his home for Cleveland, and was for some months engaged in various business and finally in 1881 took the position of clerk at the Porter House in this place. He afterward was in the employ of Marion Porter at Elyria, at which place he worked for a year at his trade of carpenter. In February of 1887, he stated into business for himself where he has been ever since. Mr. Ritter was everywhere recognized as a man, and a gentleman and had a large circle of friends in all classes. His smiling countenance, hearty laugh and good natural jokes will long be remembered and missed. He leaves a wife and one child to mourn the loss of a husband and father. The funeral on Thursday at St. Mary's Church was largely attended. His mother and brothers Peter and Daniel of Verona, were present and his brother Joseph, of Louisville, Ky., arrived too late for the services.
Ritter's life was insured for $2000 in the C.M.B.A. The business will be continued by his brother Daniel.
