Individual Details

Paul Furr, an aged man of No. 5 township, started to a neighbor's last Sunday afternoon about 1:30 o'clock, and got lost. He lives with his son, Wade Furr, and left there to go, to Henry Safrit's. Mrs. Furr watched him until he got out of sight. Mr. Furr had not returned when the storm came up, and a search was made for him, as is was found that he had not arrived at Mr. Safrit's. He was not found until about 9:30 o'clock, when he was discovered sitting against a pine tree not over 300 yards from home. He says on the way to Mr. Safrit's he sat down on the roadside to rest and soon went to sleep. He says on awaking he lost his bearings, and in wandering around got lost. The farm bells were rung, and a general alarm made. He was out in all the rain, and of course was soaking wet when found.
