Foster Williams Missing
Quite a bit of alarm was occasioned here the latter part of last week
by a dispatch from Akron, Ohio, in the Cincinnati Post that Foster H. Williams,
of Barberton, Ohio, was missing and that a bloody hatchet and one of Williams'
caps had been found on the floor of his office. Relatives here at
once wired Barberton and found out that the part of the message concerning
his disappearance was true, but their fears that he had met with foul play
were soon allayed.
Mr. Williams is the son of Mayor and Mrs. L.M. Williams, of this place,
and has been in Barberton, a suburb of Akron, for several years in charge
of a newspaper. Mr. Williams is a young man of steady and temperate
habits and according to telephonic communications with his Barberton friends
there is no business or social reason why he should leave his home.
His friends here are puzzled over his disappearance but feel sure that
they will hear from him in a few days.
Mayor Williams and W.J. Mathews, a brother-in-law, left Sunday for Barberton
to assist in unraveling the mystery, but up to this time nothing has been
learned that throws any light upon the affair. |
