(LeRoy, Genesee Co., NY) LeRoy Gazette June 24, 1857 WHERE IS HE? Pavilion, June 22, 1857. C.B. THOMSON:-- Mr. A.E. MERRILL, -- a steady mechanic, left this place about six weeks ago under the following circumstances. The house he had occupied having been sold, he removed his family to a friend in Morganville, till he could secure another place to live. He stayed around here a few days and went as he said for his family. His friend entertained his wife and three children two weeks, and came to see what had become of him. He said nothing about his plans, nor has he been heard from since he went away. It is difficult to imagine the cause of his singular conduct. Mr. MERRILL is a Wagon-maker by trade -- a good fiddler, and took with him a black fiddle. He is about 38 years of age -- dark complexion -- has black hair and whiskers, is a fair sized man, and appears well in any company. Help us look him up. Ask your exchange papers to pass him round. Any information of his whereabouts will be thankfully received by his truly distracted wife. Address P.M.
