This Day in History: 1910-08-29
Mrs. Margaret Rudolph, the 75 year old mother of Mrs. John Van Horn, wandered away from the Van Horn home and has not been seen for several days. She was last seen by a little girl heading up the road in the opposite direction from which she usually walked just before 5:00. A continuous search has been mounted for several days. The Ramapo River was dragged and the mountain searched. The County detectives were brought into the case and an interpreter secured on the chance that she might have fallen into the hands of the Italians who live in the shanties back of the golf course and who might be holding her for ransom. Mrs. Van Horn has offered a $50 reward for information about her mother’s whereabouts. (Bristow)
