Frank Risko

Frank Risko, a young foreigner of Gallitzin, left his home about a 
week ago for Henshoe, Indiana county, on a visit to relatives and 
friends and while bathing in the Blacklick creek a short distance below 
the latter village on last Thursday got into a deep hole in the water 
and was drowned.

His body was not recovered until Friday morning, when the friends of 
the dead man found him some distance below the spot where he went down.  
The remains were turned over to Undertaker Stephen F. Brady of 
Johnstown who had them buried in the Greek Catholic cemetery in Lower 
Yoder township after services at the Greek Catholic church. Risko was 
thirty years of age and unmarried.
