Edgar Reed Has Been Missing Since Last Wednesday

Edgar Reed, aged 24 years, son of Baxter Reed, living one and one half miles northeast of Lamonte, and who traveled for the Chicago Portrait Co., is believed to have been drowned in the Lamine river near Otterville last Wednesday evening.
Mr. Reed traveled through the country with a team and buggy, and was last seen near Otterville Wednesday evening.
Today information was received here that one of the horses driven by him had been found in the Otterville neighborhood, but there is no trace of Mr. Reed or
of the second horse and buggy.
The belief is that young Reed attempted to ford the Lamine river and was drowned.
