Mish - George - returns - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

People of Crawfordsville will remember the strange disappearance of Geo Mish, who ran away from his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mish, because they would not allow him to celebrate the Fourth of July. Diligent search was made for him but he could not be located. Mr. Mish finally died and his widow married a glass blower in the gas belt. Recently George put in an appearance at her home and told a rather strange story. After leaving Crawfordsville he drifted to Ohio and there fell in with the Shakers, finally becoming a member of the colony. The boy visited his mother awhile and then returned to his adopted Ohio home, seemingly content with his lot there. Mrs. Mish’s second husband, the glass blower, recently died and Mrs. Mish now contends that the undertaker embalmed him before he was really dead. She maintains that he was merely in a trance and protested against the embalming. She will likely sue for damages.
