Maxwell, Howard Scott - ran away - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

A picture of Howard Scott Maxwell, the son of Frank Maxwell, who ran away from home several weeks ago, is being published in the city papers. The Indianapolis News says: “The police authorities in this city, as well as in many other large cities, have been instructed to try to locate Howard Scott Maxwell, a fourteen year old boy, who left his home in Crawfordsville, Ind., August 21. He was traced to East St. Louis and was last seen there August 23. Since that time no trace of him has been found. He is of light complexion, blonde hair, and when he left he wore a checked suit and knee trousers. He was not a boy of bad habits and his parents are unable to account for his mysterious disappearance in St. Louis. They say he was a lover of horses and they think he may have fallen in with horsemen who are making the country fairs in the Middle West.”
