LOST FOR rwENTY-EIGHT YEARS.
Ex-RepresentativeJ John v. Greedy IL
Given Up for Dead.

From the Philadelphia Times
If John V. Greedy, ex-representative from
the second district of Philadelphia in the
Forty-second Congress, does not appear IN
the flesh by next September. whether ne DE
alive or not, he is legally dead. For twen-
ty-eight years this man. once prominent
with a good mother and sister and COM
Portable home, has been lost to those VIM
loved him. and Yesterday this sister, now
n grsy-haired woman-the mother is dead
appeared before Judge Hanna In the Or
phans' court and asked that her orother pc
declared dead so that she could collect
money due him by the tinted states gov
ernment for his services in Congress
In the application of this sister there was
only a mat;er-of-fact legal document. but
by reading between the lines story was
unfurled. 1t was a story of a mother
love of a sisters devotion. The court docu-
ment was the last chapter of a forlorn
hope.
In perfunctory way the court document
told how John V. Greedy. then young lei
low of twenty-cight. living at 40 South
18th street disappeared from his nome IN
July. 1s72 He told his mother he was go,
ing to Washington to attend 10 oi,cia, Ma1..
,iuties-afterward he was gong 10 we"
Orleans SO he declared.
Nothing again ever seen OF young
Greedy by his family. Then began the
search by the mother and sister-the search
that has continued fo- so many years
The mother and sister first went to WASH
ington. There they learned that the young
representative had been at hotel for sew
eral days and he left there. saying that
he was going to New Orleans, but the
fact that he left his trunks packed in the
hotel discredits the belief that he started
south
Relieving that the son and brother was
possibly in New Orleans the mother ana
sister went there to look for him. Every
part of the city was searched Ihen tney
went To other western and southern cities.
Detectives were engaged and failing to hnd
any trace of him the search was prose-
cuted abroad.
The sIurr1s of London and Paris. the towns
of Russia. Germany and all foreign coun-
tries were visited by the mother and sister.
Cuba and Porto Rico We're searched Ihe
mother and sister lived only to find the
lost man.
The mother was old woman in Janu-
ary. 1897, and her death was not a surprise:
but the sister continued TO hope. Not until
yesterday was it known that she believed
