- McCLOUD, N. H.
Missing Man's Body Found Near Butler Home
The body of 67-year-old N.H. McCloud was found near Butler Sunday, Dec. 23, 20 days after the retired Navy veteran was reported missing.
The body was found 1-1/2 miles from the dock in the Campbell Hollow section about noon by the victim's brother, Harry McCloud. Officers surmised McCloud had apparently tried to take shelter since his body was partially covered by a log. The man's wallet and hat were found beside the body.
An intensive search of the lake area was begun shortly after McCloud was reported missing, but was called off when officers received reports that the man might have gone to Georgia where his wife was staying.
McCloud lived at Butler with a daughter, Mrs. Jean Trivette. She told officers her father had left $45 in a Bible before leaving and said he seemed "his usual self."
McCloud was a member of the Pierce Baptist Church and the VFW Post 2166 in Elizabethton.
Survivors include the widow, four daughters, Mrs. Fred Trivette of the home; Mrs. Donald Martin and Joyce McCloud, Chesterfield, Ind., Mrs. Herbert Pennington, Columbus, Ga.; and Lloyd McCloud of the home; two sisters, Mrs. Effie Wagner, Elizabethton, Mrs. Minnie Sweeney, Kingsport; three brothers, Walter McCloud, Elizabethton, Harry McCloud of Butler and Robert McCloud of Johnson City and nine grandchildren.
Funeral services were conducted from Pierce Baptist Church at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26, with Rev. Victor Broyles and the Rev. H.M. Slagle officiating.
Burial was in Butler Memorial Cemetery with full military honors at graveside with the VFW Post 2166 in charge.
Pallbearers were Worley, Ray and Woodrow Pierce, Cecil Oliver, James Williams, Walter P. Broyles, Clyde Dunn, and Howard Campbell.
