No Clue to the Disappearance of H. C. Wandby
H. C. Wandby of East Liverpool Ohio remains missing after vanishing in Pittsburg over six weeks ago. A forged letter in his name by his wife raised questions, but investigators confirmed the letter was written by his wife. Wandby, once a merchant in Kellysburg, was last seen August 26 leaving a bank with two friends. He often carried money, and authorities fear foul play. His wife, daughter of Josiah and wife of Koozer, travels with grief as police lack any solid clue.
