A Very Hungry Roy Morgan, 14, Found in Laurinburg, June 28, 1926

Runaway Youth Found in State

Salisbury Post

Roy Morgan, Gold Hill lad of 14, who ran away from his home last week, has been located in Laurinburg, N.C., and returned here yesterday. His father states that the boy who went away in a Ford truck belonging to his father, had eaten nothing for two days and was delighted to return home. At the time he left, the boy had no money to speak of, the father said, and he was not surprised that he had been forced to go without food for two days.

It was thought at first that the boy had probably gone to Alabama to visit an uncle.
