The TALES you probably never heard about

WHERE IS DOCTOR GREAVES?

[Welland Telegraph, 6 February 1891]

Mr. C. Greaves, of the Forks Road, more familiarly known as “The Dutch Doctor,” came to town last Friday to draw some money from the bank for his wife. He got the money, made a few purchases, leaving the latter with Segelhurst, of the Commercial, saying he would call for them, then went to the M.C.R. station and boarded a train for Buffalo. Nothing has been been heard of him since and some alarm is manifested by his friends, as on all former occasions when he came to town on a similar errand, he was particular to return promptly. Some think he has met with foul play, others that he may have got on a spree at Buffalo, and have been locked up. Another opinion is that he has gone to the old country, as on several occasions he has expressed his intention of doing so, as soon as he obtained sufficient funds.
