Notes:

CORNELIUS RYER IS MISSING FROM HOME.

Cornelius Ryer, the youngest son of Mr. John G. Ryer, of 252 Nepperhan avenue, has been missing from his home, since September 3, 1903. When his father and sister, left him in the morning for their work, he was in his usual frame of mind and showed no signs of a desire to go away. When they returned at noon he was not home, and as he sometimes went out into the woods with his companions, it was thought he was there then. He has not been seen since. The last place, he was known to go to, after leaving his own house was to Mrs. Miller’s at 63 Garfield street, with whom he used to live. He went on some errands for her and then left.

Any information leading to the discovery of his whereabouts will be thankfully received by his father.

Cornelius is 12 years of age. He is of fair complexion, very straight, light hair and brown eyes. When last seen, he had on a white straw hat, red waist with white dots, brown knickerbockers and black shoes and stockings. He is a pupil of No. 7 school.
