The grieving mother has never re-

and has cried so continually since
that her eyes have become affected
and she is partially blind.

Rev. Arie L. Lederer, the father,
has grave fears that if the runaway

in the last ten years to and her son.
the mother has never given up hope
and declares that he must come
home some time.

On December 9. 1913. the missing
son, who was then 26 years of age.
left his home in the middle of the
night without cause and without
*leaving even a. few words to explain
his disappearance. The family,
thinking that be had gone to a
friend for a short visit, had no on-
xiety over him until the next day
when they received a. short note
reading: Dear Mother: You will
hear from me in two, three or four
weeks.

The weeks passed by. too slowly
for the grieving mother. and still
no word came from her son. Driven
frantic by the suspense the aid of
the police was finally .sought and
a description of th youth was sent
to police all over the country. But
no word. was ever received that
would indicate his whereabouts.
Even the aid of the war department
was enlisted during the War. but
to no avail. -But the mother_decla.res
that there was no reward onered
for his recovery at that time and

s

 

will succeed in bringing back her
lost son where all other means has
failed.

At the time of his appearance
Abraham Ledercr was about five
feet four inches tall, weighed 176
pounds. had a. dark peck-marked
complexion. black hair and brown
eyes. He was employed as a clerk
and salt fitter in a clothing plant.
