Sherman Smith SALISBURY
1914 - Missing Auburn Man is Located in Adirondacks - Sherman S. Salisbury Employed at Lumber Camp, Mr. Wallace Informs Friends

AUBURN - Feb. 8 - Sherman S. Salisbury of No. 17 Mary street in this city, reported to have been missing from Watertown for nearly four months, is in the Adirondacks about thirty miles north of Tupper lake, according to Richard A. Wallace, a local constable. Mr. Wallace has returned from the Adirondacks and made public the information today.

Mr. Wallace says he talked with Mr. Salisbury. The latter is said to be contently working in a lumber camp. Mr. Wallace said Mr. Salisbury agreed to return to Watertown and Auburn in due time and make a full explanation of the circumstances surrounding his unannounced departure from the office of the Black River Paper Company.

The trip of Mr. Wallace was made at the request of friends of Mr. Salisbury in this city. The latter was prominent in large circles and made many friends when he was in charge of the job department of the Auburn Publishing Company.

Mr. Salisbury's wife who resides with her father in Mary street, has been ill. She stated this afternoon she had been ordered by her physician not to talk about the case. Conceiving of no reason why her husband should leave Watertown, Mrs. Salisbury believes he must have met with an accident. His present position in the lumber camp is said to be more remunerative than his Watertown employment.
