THE Port s,anilac Reporter of recent
/. date says: Ten years ago the coming
y October parts of Sanilac and Huron
counties were devastated by fire, and
= thousands of persons were turned out
on the then hot, smoky world, homeless
q and penniless. At that time there re-
y sided near White Rock a farmer by the
i name of Hugh McCaflerty. He had
only one child, son, who lived with
i him. Neither he nor the boy were ever
e seen after the fire swept over the vii
' lage, and his disappearance has been
!. shrouded in mystery since. He owed
no debts and had no reason for leaving
in hurry, yet the belief has been quite
common that he was alive and would
n some day return. The mystery was des.
e tined to be cleared up some day, how
s ever, and last week the cloud was re-
: moved. Some workmen were engaged
o in clearing away the underbrush on L.
h and j. S. Thompson's land west of the
o village, when two skeletons were found.
