Peter Babich, 70, was found dead in his room at 105 Main street early Monday evening by police and firemen who were called to the scene by neighbors who had not seen the elderly man in several days and found the door locked. Firemen were called in by Officer Tautkus to force the door and the body of Babich was found.
Death was due to natural causes and evidently occurred on Friday, according to Medical Examiner Peirce H. Leavitt, who viewed the body. Funeral arrangements will be announced from the funeral home at 741 North Main street.
I post photos of headstones and newspaper printings in the hopes that when a researcher is searching for someone specific, results come up.
