Little Journeys to Homes of SUnsung Heroes
The Unknown Husbands Of Famous Women

'Mr. Anna Katherine Green" is
described in the Buffalo, N. Y,
city directory as "Chas. Rohlfs,
furniture maker, los Norwood av.
Few know him as the husband of
the famous woman writer of de-
tective stories.
For Chas. Rohlfs has no desire
to be known as "Mr. Anna
Katherine Green" He's proud of
his brilliant wife, but it's the noto-
riety he fears.
Rohlfs is a quiet, modest little
man who for many years has
found lot of quiet, modest en-
joyment in his little art furniture
shop in Buffalo. 1t is a one-man
shop. Rohlfs is the man. He
works when he chooses, and on
what he chooses. Each of the
Rohlfs is independently wealthy.
He is craftsman of rare
ability, his creed is art for arts
sake. The work of his clever
hands decorates many of the finest
homes in Buffalo. His own resi-
dence is beautiful example of his
furniture making genius. Mrs.
Green's private library is his
piece de resistance.
Rohlfs has another hobby-elo-
cution. He has unusual ability,
and there's hardly a church enter
tainment in his neighborhood that
he isn't down on the program as
the head-liner.
Mrs. Rohlfs, although she de-
votes most of her time to the
creation of such masterpieces of

buyers to the land. and was told
that the land was owned by the
Weyerhaeuser company.

Danuser's confessions, that he was
running bunko game, and that
he did not have any timber claims
to sell. He obtained SIS earnest
money from each OF the men, and
