- Mrs. George Bungert, 104 S. Madison Street, received a telegram Friday afternoon announcing that the body of her uncle, Aden Tanner, who had been missing for ten days, had been found, he having been drowned in the waters of the Barge Canal terminal at Buffalo. Mr. Tanner was in the employ of his brother, Albert Tanner, as a boatman and on Monday, Oct. 4, he visited Rome friends on their boat 'Effie Plantz' which was anchored in the terminal, remaining overnight, leaving the boat about 4 am, Tuesday, Oct. 5. It is believed that in crossing the decks of several boats he missed his footing and fell into the water between the boats.
Aden Tanner was born in Stanwix 46 years ago September 27 last. He was a son of the late Mr. & Mrs. William H. Tanner of Stanwix. In Syracuse about 16 years ago he married Miss Ethel Wilson of Rome, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Mr. Frink, formerly pastor of the Free Methodist Church of this city, her death occurring several years ago. He is survived by a son, Wilson Aden Tanner, aged 14 yrs, of Rome, five brothers, Eugene of Buffalo, Frank, Albert and Fred of Rome, and William of Amsterdam.
During the winters for the past 15 or 20 years Mr. Tanner had been in the employ of the Rome Box and Lumber Co. making his home with his niece, Mrs. Bungert. He was an industrious man of friendly disposition and kindly heart. His many friends will regret to learn of his untimely death.
The remains will arrive in this city this evening and will be buried at Stanwix beside his brother Charles who also met his death by drowning six years ago.
