Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Apr 18, 1912 Rochester Relatives Leave To Meet Passengers Among Survivors on the Carpathia Man and Woman Saved from Titanic, but Three Others Probably Drowned Several Rochester relatives of persons known to have been passengers on the Titanic, which was sunk off the Grand Banks Sunday night, left for New York last night to be on hand at the arrival of the Carpathia, which is expected to dock late to-night, having on board the survivors of the wreck. It is reported that two Rochester persons are on the Carpathia. Three others are believed to have been drowned. It was established beyond a doubt yesterday by The Gleason Works that Stanley K. FOX, of No. 38 Gregory street, a salesman for the company, was a passenger on the Titanic. A cablegram was sent to the company's London agents, BUCK & HICKMAN, asking whether Mr. FOX had sailed on the Titanic, and late yesterday afternoon the following reply was received: "Shipping records show FOX sailed on Titanic." Mr. FOX'S name does not appear in the published list of survivors. He has a wife and two children in Rochester. Charles V. CASE, of No. 3 Thayer street, whose brother, Howard B. CASE, manager of the London offices of the Vacuum Oil Company, is reported among the survivors left for New York at 10:20 o'clock last night. He intends to be among the first to meet the Carpathia to-night. Miss Lillian BENTHAM, of No. 11 Kay terrace, who was among the second class passengers, is also reported to be on the Carpathia. Her mother and brother, Walter BENTHAM are awaiting with anxiety more direct news. With Miss BENTHAM on the Titanic was William J. DOUTON, of Holley, who is believed to have perished. Mrs. DOUTON, who was stopping with Mrs. BENTHAM yesterday, left for New York last night. Although DOUTON'S name is not in the list of survivors, his wife has not given up hope. Mr. DOUTON sailed for Europe on the same steamer with Miss BENTHAM and Peter McCAIN, of Rochester. McCAIN, who formerly lived in Holley, moved to Rochester in 1907. He sailed for Europe on November 18th. It was thought by many in this city that C. C. PUFFER, of the Pfaudler Company, was a passenger on the Titanic. Yesterday E. G. MINER, president of the company, made this statement: "C. C. PUFFER, chairman of the board of the Pfaudler Company, was not a passenger on the Titanic. It is true that he had engaged passage from Cherbourg and had intended to sail on her, but at the last moment he was prevented. We have cables and letters from him to this effect." Percy A. COLLETT, of No. 205 Pullman avenue, an employee at Kodak Park, has a brother, Rev. S. C. Staurt COLLETT, who sailed on the Titanic and whose name appears in the list of survivors. He is 25 years old and has been an evangelist in England. He is on his way to the home of his parents, Rev. and Mrs. M. E. COLLETT, of Port Byron. He intended to continue in the Baptist ministry with his father. ** RECORD OF DEATHS William LASS died yesterday at Iola Sanatorium, aged 25 years.
