    3. FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Friday, January 21, 1916 LAMENTABLE MIX-UP The story has become noised abroad of a married man and a married woman leaving their own lawfully married mates and setting out for parts unknown. The principal parties of this lamentable affair are Herman Schaeffer, of this place, who married about three years ago, and Mrs. Laura Goldsmith, of Elvins, who is understood to have been separated from her husband for some time past. It seems that while Mrs. Schaeffer was visiting in St. Louis recently, Mrs. Goldsmith kept house for Schaeffer, and on Mrs. Schaeffer's return a quarrel resulted over the appearance of things, which resulted in Mrs. Schaeffer going away again to stay with a sister. Then Schaeffer and the Goldsmith woman left town, apparently together, and their exact whereabouts is not known, though they are supposed to be in St. Louis. Mr. Schaeffer had been quite popular here, where he had many friends. Fortunately they have no children.
