Contractor Ovens Disappears Behind Electric Railroad Project
The contractor for the Messillon Wooster and Mankild electric railroad, Ovens, vanished without a trace. Despite followable trains and careful searches, no record of his whereabouts or status exists. Some speculate he fled debt or illness and may be hospitalized for surgery, but no clues have emerged. The construction schedule remains intact, and Dr. J W Buchanan notes the loss should not halt the project.
