Proctor Fant, 14, Vander Myers, 16, Are Missing, Nov. 25, 1925

Two Forsyth Youths Disappear from Home. . . Proctor Fant and Vander Myers Have Been Missing Since Monday

Winston-Salem, Nov. 24—Proctor Fant, 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H.B. Fant, and Vander Myers, 16-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Myers, disappeared from their homes Monday morning and have not been heard from since. The families reside a short distance west of the city on the Country Club road.

The boys left home Monday for the Lewisville School but investigation later showed they never went to the school. The Fant boy is said to have appeared at a local bank during the morning and made an effort to draw certain funds from a savings account but was not successful. Later two boys filling the description of the youngsters were seen around the union station.

It is the belief of the parents of the boys that they are headed for Florida as they are said to have been expressing a very great desire recently to visit that state. The matter has been reported to the welfare department.
