Life of Albert Puss and tragic family mystery in Cincinnati
In a sprawling 1870s-tinged tale, Albert Puss, once a social linchpin and son-in-law to George Lewis of Lewis & Sons, vanishes on a business trip. Suspicion fades as a London death note proves the stranger’s identity, later confirmed by hat, clothing, and a torn sign of life. The saga follows arrests, inquests, insurance bonds, a return alive, a later army death, and Mrs. Post’s enduring hardship amid a web of family ties, burial in Spring Grove, and a frontier note from Arizona.
