All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************** Roscoe Orr Disappearance of Roscoe Orr and the search concluded when the horses were found near Dickens City with a part of the harness on them; soon after the buggy was found with Mr. OrrŐs body under it, the dashboard being across the neck. It appears that the horses ran off or became unmanageable in some way and left the road and ran over an embankment, throwing the buggy on top of Mr. Orr, perhaps breaking his neck. The time of the occurrence must have been soon after dark from the time he left Clipper, and that night was very cold. This occurred Wednesday, the 8th, and the body lay there till Monday the 21st, before it was discovered. On Monday Penick-Hughes Co., sent a metallic-lined box for the body. The interment will be in the cemetery at Anson. We have known Roscoe for the last five years. He was a young man of fine qualities. The Stamford News Nov. 25, 1904 Vol. 5, No. 39
