N.A. Blackwelder, local farmer who disappeared here 10 days ago, has been located in St. Paul, Minn., and funds have been forwarded for his return home. He is expected to return some time this week.
Relatives here were first advised of Mr. Blackwelder’s whereabouts in a telegram from a Catholic organization to which he went for aid soon after arriving in St. Paul. The organization advised relatives that Mr. Blackwelder would be cared for until ready to return to his home here.
Upon receipt of the telegram relatives here immediately sent Mr. Blackwelder funds for his expenses home.
Just how Mr. Blackwelder reached St. Paul and why he went to that city is not known as no details of his trip have been received. He was last seen here Saturday a week ago, when he got into a car bearing a Tennessee license and started in the direction of Salisbury. Relatives here at the time stated that he had only a small amount of money with him, so it is presumed that he prevailed upon the motorists to carry him from point to point until he reached St. Paul, where he deiced to ask for aid.
It was at first feared by relatives that Mr. Blackwelder had met with foul play and they are greatly relieved to learn that he is safe.
