Disappearance of Mrs. Ketcham

New York, 1895

Mrs. George W. Ketcham, Jr., is missing from her home in Northport. She left late on Wednesday night of last week. Her departure was premeditated, for she took with her all of her clothing, wedding presents, silverware, linen, and everything that she could in any way lay claim to.

George Rainney, a baker, has also disappeared from the village.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, N.Y., Jan. 11, 1895, p. 1.
