Clarence Power Found Dead Monday 
Frozen Body Found In Field In Montgomery 
   David Clarence Power, 65 years old, was found frozen to death at 
6 o'clock Monday morning in a field on the Bridges farm (old Stoner 
place) in Montgomery county.  He had been dead ten or twelve hours 
and his body was said to have been frozen throughout. 
   According to information available here, Mr. Power left Owingsville 
on the mail truck at 4:20 Sunday afternoon to return to the home 
of William Blevins on the Bridge place, for whom he had been stripping 
tobacco. 
   He alighted from the mail truck at the bridge place and started 
across the fields to Mr. Blevins house, about a half mile off the 
highway.  After passing through two gates, which he had closed 
after him, he fell a short distance from one of the barns, where 
his body was found the next morning. 
   The exact cause of death was not known.  There were some difference 
of opinion as to whether he died from a heart attack or whether he 
simply became ill and died from exposure.  The night was very cold, 
between 12 and 18 degrees above zero, with a biting north-west wind. 
   A native of Bath county, he was the son of the late Mr. and 
Mrs. W. W. Power, born October 21, 1873.  His father, a Confederate 
veteran, was for many years judge of the Owingsville police court.  
He was a man of wide popularity and well known throughout this section 
of the state and, while he didn't live in Owingsville continually, 
he was in and out here a great deal and had a great many friends 
here who will sincerely regret his passing. 
   He is survived only by two brothers, J. Add Power, Carlisle, 
and W. A. Power, Owingsville.  Funeral services were held Tuesday 
afternoon at the home of W. A. Power on Bath avenue, conducted by 
the Rev. George C. Frey, followed by burial in the family lot in 
the Owingsville Cemetery.
