Theodore Gegoux of Watertown, for many years one of the most prominent artists of Northern New York, has dropped out of sight and since December 15th last no word has been heard of him by his friends or the members of his family in this city. The last heard from Mr. Gegoux he was in Cleveland, Ohio where he was then at work on a picture of a nephew who had died a short time before.
It is believed that he is in the west and the theory of foul play that has been advance is scouted by the members of his family. Mr. Gegoux left home the latter part of last November going from Watertown to New York, where he was engaged in some work. He wrote to his wife in that city while in New York and word was also received from him from Cleveland, where he went from New York. He left that city, however, Dec 15th and since then no word has been received. The painter had been working for months on flying machines and had a helicopter revolving type of aeroplane in which he was much interested. It is known that he desired to attend the aviation meet at Los Angeles and it is thought possible that he went west after leaving Cleveland. His continued absence since the close of the meet cannot however be explained. |
