Jan.23,1915 Columbus, OH Police Say Old Woman is Champion Runaway That Mrs. Catherine HENRY, aged 82, 204 S. Gift St., is the champion Columbus runaway, was the testimony given by Officers GARRETT and REMMERT, Friday afternoon, when they testified against Mrs. HENRY in a lunacy proceeding. They said that since July 7 of last year they had hauled her home from different points in the city to which she ran away from home 33 times. Of these times, on four occasions she ran away twice on the same day. She ran away in every month after July, except November, and already in 1915 had run away four times. She lived with a sister whose chief occupation was locking her in, then finding her missing, and then helping the police to get her back in the house. Mrs. HENRY always tried to go to Galena, although she entertained little notion of the direction of that place. Once she got as far as Reynoldsburg, before being found by the police. Saturday she was taken to the State hospital.

Jan. 15, 1915 Columbus, OH Columbus Boy In Flanders Writes Letter To Mother "Marching Through Georgia," "Dixie," "The Swanee River" and numerous other patriotic American songs are being sung by English troops on duty in the trenches in the Flanders theater of war, according to the statements made by Ray K. NORTH, aged 22, in a letter which has been received by his mother, Mrs. Eva B. NORTH, 1077 Bellows avenue. North, who was born and raised in Springfield, OH, was in England studying music when war was declared, and enlisted in the English motorcycle corps with a number of his classmates. Since the declaration of hostilities he has been in constant service in Flanders as a dispatch bearer. His letter to his mother is as follows: Somewhere in Flanders Dec. 6, 1914 Received your letter o.k. and was sure glad to hear from you. I am in the best of health and hope this finds you the same. We have been having a lot of rain lately which makes the roads very bad for motor biking. Things have been very quiet and I have not had very much to do about here for some time. I don't think there will be very much going all winter on account of the roads being in such a state. It is hard to move troops and transports over them. I don't mind if we stay where we are all winter because I am fixed up very comfortable, having a nice room and getting plenty of good grub. It is hard to realize that a war is going on and that I am at the front of it. Once in a while a regiment of infantry goes past to take its place in the trenches, singing and whistling. They not only sing English songs, but ours as well. It is a common thing to see them marching to the strains of "Dixie," "Marching Through Georgia," or "The Swanee River." Only yesterday a regiment marched by whistling Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever." All companies of infantry are given relief in the trenches. They work a certain number of days and they are taken out and moved to the rear, where they rest for the same number of days. We were inspected by the King one day last week and the Prince of Wales was with him. I am sending each of you a Christmas card. I suppose they will be there late, but I hope you get them the same time. There is not much of an assortment of cards here, but I picked the best I could find. Don't forget to send me a bundle of papers once in a while. (signed) "Ray" NORTH left Columbus about two years ago and traveled to the western coast. He sailed from a port on the Pacific on a steamer which ultimately landed in England after a long trip around South America. He was formerly employed by the Jefferson Manufacturing Co. and was a motorcycle enthusiast. Three sisters live in Columbus.
