Inc. 1967
Demitro Lazzari,aged 70 years,met death by drowning in the Monongahela river near the Tremont mine above Belle Vernon Friday afternoon,September 11,1925. His body was found by a son. The aged man,who resided in East Belle Vernon,has been in ill health for the past five years and usually took a daily walk. He left home early Friday morning and his family did not become alarmed until he failed to return as usual in the evening. The family consists of five sons,six daughters and the mother and the five sons immediately started out in different directions to locate their father. As one of the boys neared the Tremont mine he noticed his father in the river only a few feet from the shore. Undertaker C.L.Melenyzer of Belle Vernon was notified and the remains were removed to his morgue. Members of the family believed that he had accidently fallen into the river and was drowned. He had suffered severe pains in his head and when subjected to these attacks he generally bathed his head in cold water and they believe that while bathing his head in the river,he suffered a stroke and fell into the water.
