Watertown, Dec. 11. - Theodore Gegoux, well known artist and painter who so mysteriously disappeared from the city two years ago, has been found in Portland, Ore., alive and in good health. Frank Kellogg of the Agricultural Insurance Company, has seen and talked with Mr. Gegoux, who is assiduously applying himself to his art. Two years ago in November, Mr. Gegoux went to New York to fulfill a commission for a portrait in oil. From New York he went to Cleveland, where he had relatives and there all track of him was lost.
Why he left Watertown so suddenly and never communicated with friends here, is not yet known. For months it was not known by his wife or sons here what had become of him. Knowing that he was interested in aviation it was at first thought that he had gone to the Pacific Coast to attend a large meet. Later it was believed that in some way he had met his death. |
