Hi everyone! I'm looking for any suggestions as to how to go about solving my mystery... As the family story goes, my grandmother's father, William Nary, went out one day to never return home again. I've narrowed the time period down to between September of 1928 and April of 1929 from obituaries of his siblings. My grandma was only about six or seven so she doesn't remember the details, but she does remember being told that the family suspected he was killed by his business partner. Others in the family only remember the partner's last name as Henderson from West Virginia. However, the body was never found. I have an article from the newspaper seven years later(1935) saying that a hearing will be had in the Orphans Court of Beaver County, PA to establish the legal presumption of death for the heirs of his estate. I've checked the Register of Wills at the Courthouse for the date and it shows no record of that event taking place, but I have the papers that show his wife did get the money. Also, the law firm that took the case is no longer around. Here is what I have on William Nary: b. July 1886 to Patrick and Margaret Doyle Nary; declared legally dead Dec. 1935; married Ellen Hallisey Nov. 18, 1909 in Beaver Co., PA; had 9 children, 7 of which survived. The only thing I have in mind to do now is look through the newspaper between the dates of his disappearance to see if any articles were written on it. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
