Jan 23, 1915 Gave Up In Disgust After waiting in Kansas City, MO for two months to prosecute J. C. LAMAR, a hotel detective, for the theft of a diamond ring, Frank X. WOLF, of 29 South Sixth street, a traveling salesman, has given up and gone on a sales trip through the West. LAMAR'S trial was set for Nov. 17. A continuance was granted Dec. 7 and then another Dec. 15. Four more continuances were granted the defendant by the justice courts and Mr. WOLF finally gave up in disgust. He is now convinced that the talk of court delays is not without foundation. LAMAR was arrested early in the fall on a charge of having stolen MR. WOLF's $300 diamond ring. The ring was stolen last May, while Mr. WOLF was stopping at a hotel in Kansas City, where LAMAR was house detective. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 10:27:50 -0400 (EDT) From: cathy361@webtv.net To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <19311-3D68E966-1528@storefull-2276.public.lawson.webtv.net> Subject: [OH-FOOT] Marriages 1915 Franklin Co.

The blaze is believed to have originated from a defective oil stove in the kitchen. Mrs. BROWN was looking for two of her children in the neighborhood and when she returned found the home in flames. Brown was at work in Pennsylvania railroad shops at the time. Neighbors rescued part of the furniture. Mrs. BROWN was cut on the hand when she attempted to break a window to recover some of her belongings. She also is suffering from nervous shock. Five children in the family were made homeless. Four are shown above: Nellie aged 15; Ruth 12; James 8; and Garvin 5. Doris 10 months old, is not shown in the picture. Ruins of the home are pictured. BROWN, who was called to the scene, said the house was covered by insurance. He bought it last July. Columbus fire department was asked for aid, but refused to respond, due to lack of water facilities near the scene and sufficient amount of chemical to be of any assistance.

High St., pleaded not guilty in police court Thursday to a charge of petit larceny and his case was set for hearing Jan. 2. TOBIN is accused of grabbing the purse of Miss Helen WILLIAMS 80 W. Maynard Ave. Wednesday night and attempting to escape with it from a HIGH St. car. TOBIN was captured by passengers who pursued him when he ran from the car, after Miss WILLIAMS cried that she was robbed. TOBIN is held in bond of $600. ATTACKED BY TWO ROBBERS Mrs. J. W. KNODERER, 177 Fourteenth Ave., was attacked by two robbers at a point just west of Summit St. on Fourteenth Ave., Wednesday night. She fought fiercely when one of the men tried to steal her handbag and managed to keep it away from him. The other robber, in striking her in the face, broke her glasses. Her cries frightened the men and they ran away. Mrs. KNODERER believes the men followed her from State and High streets. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #9 Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 14:25:36 -0400 (EDT) From: cathy361@webtv.net To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <25058-3D692120-2315@storefull-2275.public.lawson.webtv.net> Subject: [OH-FOOT] MISC: AYERS 1914 Franklin Co.

AYERS in the office of Chief CARTER, Thursday morning, the girl who Wednesday gave the name of Mrs. Lillian AYERS, admitted that her story of having been married to AYERS four years ago was false. Mrs. Anna AYERS, aged 22, who came to this country from Germany seven years ago, came to the police station Thursday and told Chief CARTER that she had been living with AYERS mother, Mrs. J. D. GREIST, 95 E. Second Ave, since her marriage to AYERS four years ago. The other "wife" then admitted that she was not married to AYERS and had only been with him a few days. She and AYERS were arrested Tuesday in connection with the passing of several worthless checks, one of which was passed against the Rev. Joseph H. HARRIS, pastor of Grace U. B. church on Fifth Ave. AYERS probably will be prosecuted on this charge and the woman will be charged with living with him illegally. In the meantime AYERS will be forced to provide for his wife and children, if possible. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #10 Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 15:43:28 -0400 (EDT) From: cathy361@webtv.net To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <28025-3D693360-3066@storefull-2278.public.lawson.webtv.net> Subject: [OH-FOOT] BIRTHS: 1914 Franklin Co.
