Joseph Culver
of Woodhouse is Missing
Simcoe, 16 Dec 1921 --
Joseph Culver, a prosperous Woodhouse township farmer resident six
miles east of Simcoe, left home in his working clothes on Tuesday
and at last report is mysteriously missing.
He drove to Simcoe with a
horse and buggy which he left at Burt's feed barn; was known to have
with him cheques from the creamery, and was presumably going to pay
his taxes. But he did not call to pay his taxes nor to take his
horse from the barn.
He is about 25 years of age,
of slight build, dark brown hair, clean shaven face, of clear
complexion, and prominent cheek contour. He is not addicted to
drinking but smokes a pipe moderately. He is in no financial or
domestic difficulty or discord. His disappearance is mysterious.
Culver served overseas
through Hill 70, Paschendale and other engagements, the recalling of
which he openly avoided. He has recently been in good heath as
usual, but had lost somewhat in weight during the past few months.
His relatives and friends here are fearful lest he should have
suffered a mental breakdown as a result of his experience overseas.
