Herman DRENTH

Clarksburg grocer and former vacuum salesman Harry Powers — also known as Cornelius
Pierson, Joe Gildaw, or Herman Drenth — became the subject of a multiple murder
investigation in Harrison County in late August 1931.

Harry F. Powers was convicted in the murder of Asta Eicher and her children.

Eicher was a widow, who struggled to raise her two daughters and son.

Men dig for bodies of other victims of Henry Powers in West Virginia.
