WyrwoZ, who was in the plumbing
business. disappeared without warn
ing, leaving his wife and children al
most penniless. He was last seen in
Lafayette, but no trace of him could

here, in the spring of 1916. The fol-
lowing year skeleton was found in
the Wabash river and 1t was thought
that the bones were those of Wyrwoz.
Mrs. Wyrwoz decided that her hns-
band was dead and moved to Lock-
port N. Y, with her children.
When he arrived at Oxford he told
friends that he had left home because
of domestic trouble. He said that he
had spent two years in Cuba and had
made up his mind never to return. hut

never left his mind and that remorse
finally drove him back to- his former
home. He left Oxford for the East to
make search for his family. Wyr-

them some plain velvet in making up
