OSCAR WILKINSON FOUND
Aged Man Disappeared From South
HadIey, Mass, Oct. 16.

Rutland, Dec. S.-Oscar A.. Wilkin-
son, the father of Frank A. Wilkin-
son of No. 55 West street, who dis
appeared from his home at South
Hadley, Mass, October 16, has been
found in a boarding house at Albany,
N. Y. A friend now living in AL
bany was the means of restoring the
man to his family. He had formerly
known Mr.. Wilkinson and having
read in the newspapers of his dis
appearance, he notified relatives OF
his presence at Albany Mr.. Wilkin-
son of West street went there yester-
day, and took his father back to his
home in South Hadley. The elder
Wilkinson, who will soon be rs years
old, is plainly deranged and did not
want to return home. He recognized
his sons in time, however and some
of the incidents which transpired be
fore his leaving home came back to
him.
Mr. Wilkinson could give no reason
able and connected account of his
flight from home. Il meant to go
back when ] left the house." he told
his sons, but after ! got on the train
an irresistible impulse came over me
to never go back"
The last seen of Mr.. Wilkinson by
his relatives was when he left them
on the morning of October l6 to go to
a nearby town to consult an oculist
1t appears that from South Hadley,
Mr.. Wilkinson went to Connecticut,
where he lived in several towns.
From there he went to New York
city, and, according to his own story,
went to Albany about three weeks
ago.
He told his sons that if they had
not come for two or three days more,
he would have been on the way to
California. He had some idea of go
ing there to work on a ranch. When
discovered he was almost penniless.
On leaving home he took with him
almost 5000, but this was all gone,
and Mr.. Wilkinson had recently been
doing odd jobs to make living. He
said that thought OF home never
crossed his mind until he saw his
sons.
He has other relatives besides Mr.
Wilkinson in Rutland.
