Husband Vanishes From Brooklyn After Navy Leave
Ames Brady, assistant paymaster in the U S Navy, disappeared from his Brooklyn home in November 1894 after leaving on leave from his ship the Charleston. His wife, at 193 Adams Street, has waited two years for any word, while the Navy says he has not been in service since 1894. She questions the lack of search or investigation and hopes he may yet return or send a message.
