All Trace Lost Of Mary Funk,
a Sutter-Street Do.
= nestle.
SHE LEFT FOR MILL VALLEY
Every Effort to Discover Her Where.
abouts by Her Friends Proved
Futile.

Mary Funk, domestic in the employ
of Mrs. Simon at 2221 Suffer street, ha
disappeared, and all efforts to obtain in
formation as to her whereabouts have
proved unsuccessful. She left the home
of Mrs. Simon on the 18th of this month
and not word has since been received
from her.
When she left it was with the under
standing that she would return in week
and she also promised to write to he1
friends while she was away. She said she
intended to go to Mill Valley, in Marin
County, to spend the week, and only took
along sufficient money to pay her railroad
fare and hotel bill for that time.
When no word was received from her
her friends grew anxious, but thought
to remain away longer than she first in
tended. After ten days had passed and
still no word was received from her, Mrs
Simon thought that something was wrong
and made an effort to communicate with
her, but failed.
Mrs. Simon then wrote to Rev. Carl
Cordes of the Salem Evangelical German
Church, where she attended. The minis
ter said he had received no word from the
girl, though she had said she would write
to him. Mrs. Simon prevailed upon the
minister to 90 to Mill Valley and see il
she really was stopping there. Yesterday
Rev. Mr.. Cordes went to Mill Valley and
inquired at all the hotels in order to see if
any woman answering her description had
been boarding there within the last two
weeks.
His search was in vain. No woman an
swering her description had been at the
hotels, and he was compelled to return to
the City without having found trace Of
her whereabouts.
Miss Funk is a rather good-looking
young woman, about "a years Of age, and
has worked for Mrs. Simon for nine years
She came from Philadelphia and has al
ways been Woodworking and honest. She
has had no troubles, and no reason for hel
strange actions can be given by any of heI
friends. Mrs. Simon is completely at 9
loss to understand why the girl should not
write and let her know of her where
abouts.
When seen yesterday afternoon Mrs
Simon was somewhat reticent. She adj
mitted she was somewhat anxious about
the girl, but thought that she would turI
up all right.
~ have received no word from her,
said she, "but it may be possible that she
is sick somewhere and unable to write.
Mr.. Simon SAID that he Qld not want u
have any publicity, as the girl would I'm
doubtedly turn up all right in the end
He said that the girl had always beer
honest and he did not know of any
troubles she had.
1.-THE girl has many friends" said he
sand they will look into the matter a
once, but will say nothing further, as
do not desire to get the matter into tn,
newspapers. l recognize their inf1uenc,
in helping relatives and others in finding
persons that are missing, but in this case,
said he, sit might be dong the girl more
harm than good. l am confident that sh,
will turn up all right in the end"
