YOUNG VIRGINIAN MISSING
Ben. C. Tyler Disappeared
Haymarket, Va., Aug. 29. -- Ben. C. Tyler, a well known young Virginian
and a native of Prince William county, while in an unbalanced state of mind
from over-work, disappeared from his home in Perry, N. Y., on Aug. 16, and
his family and friends, after a search lasting from the time of his
disappearance up to the present, have been unable to find him.
Mr.Tyler's is one of the best known families in Northern Virginia. He
is a son of the late Robert H. Tyler of Prince William county and is a first
cousin of W. H. Tyler of Washington, D. C., general passenger agent of the
Southern Railway.
For several years Ben. Tyler has lived in Bellaire, Ohio, where he
became the head of the plate-mill department of the Carnegie Steel Company
in that city. he married a young lady from Bellaire and now has a family of
four children. Recently he resigned his position with the Carnegie company
to enter the mercantile business in Perry, N. Y., moving to that city on
August 1. Sixteen days later he disappeared.
It is thought that Mr. Tyler has started to walk to this home in
Virginia. He is thirty-nine years of age, weighing about 135 pounds, and of
slight build; dark hair and eyes dark. He had a mustache when leaving home,
and probably may have grown a dark beard by this time. When he left he wore
a dark gray suit, with a black derby hat.
