Disappearance, Resignations, and Local Notes in Davenport
John Heffley, 35, a laborer from Center Avenue, vanished after leaving work to fetch a fern from the Boston store waste basket. His wife suspects despondency while others think he may be working on a farm nearby. Heffley’s family is cared for by a Quaker relative in Ackworth. Obituary notes include Miss Annie C Langworth of Bridge Avenue, who died of pneumonia at age 60, survived by three sisters and a brother. Local items cover choir director resignation, Pat Crowe’s Davenport visit, a court fine for John Kuehl, and a boy struck by a car on Third Street.
