Police Searching for Old and Feeble Confederate Veteran, June 24, 1922

Lincolnton Veteran Missing and Police Search for Him

Richmond, Va., June 23—The Richmond police received a telegram today from M.T. Leatherman of Lincolnton, N.C., inquiring if Henry Daughterty, Confederate veteran of that community, ever reached here for the reunion this week.

The message stated that he was old and feeble, and as no word had come from him it was feared that some mishap had befallen him.

Search for him was being made tonight.
