Durham, April 3—Mrs. William N. Harmon and three small children from seven weeks to four years old are being taken care of by welfare officials while officers continue their efforts to locate her husband, former mail carrier who resigned his position with local office effective Tuesday and left Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Hettie Cole, Mrs. Harmon’s sister, whose disappearance was discovered by the deserted wife when she went to her boarding house for help, is still missing, officers report today.
They are working on the theory that the two went off together, although having little more than a theory on which to base their efforts. Officers in other towns have been notified particularly in Virginia to watch for him as he had been heard to say something of going to a Virginia city to work.
