Mysterious Disappearance of Mrs. F.E. Wotton, Several Days Search Brings No
Revalation
The disappearance from her home on Monday morning of Mrs. Fred. E. Wotton, the wife of a well known baker, and before her marriage Hattle Megrath of Greenfield, has been the senation of the week. Up to yesterday morning no clue had been found which would lead to a solution of the mystery.
About half-past five, Monday morning, Mr. Wooton left home for his place of business, leaving, as he supposed, his wife at home and asleep. A few hours later Mrs. Nora Whitney, who lives in the same house, was attracted by the continued crying of the Wotton child and went down stairs to see what the trouble could be, finding the child alone and Mrs. Wooton gone.
This was the first intimation of her disappearance and, as she had not put an appearance at noon, when Mr. Wotton returned, the alarm was given and a search begun.
It was a first suspected that she might, in a fit of temporary insanity, have cast herself into the new reservoir on Walnut Hill. This was dragged without result and the water was then drawn off and still no result.
Wednesday afternoon the call was made for volunteers for a search party and Thursday morning about 150 men started. After hunting nearly the entire day they returned without finding the least clue to her where abouts.
The river, both above and below the bridge, has been dragged, and the mystery still deepens and has developed into the biggest sensation Orange has had for many a day. Search is still continued, however, and any hour may bring for startling results.
Mr. Wotton is completely prostrated by the blow

The Mystery Solved - Mrs. Wotton"s Body Found Floating in the River! May 5, 1894
Thursday morning, about 10 a.m., crowds, hurrying down West Main Street and excited groups talking on every corner, pointed to something unusual taking place, and such was the fact. A little before 10 o'clock, Florrie Brown, who, with his brother, has been patroling the river, in the vicinity of the Hosmer farm, night and day for several days, observed something floating in mid stream. Hastily pulling out to it he saw that it was the dead body of a woman. He at once towed it ashore and summoned Medical Examiner Wright and Deputy Sheriff Fowler.
When these two arrived a slight examination identified the body as that of the missing Mrs. Wotton. The body was then removed to the rooms of Undertaker Ramsey and an investigation made. The body was dressed as certified by Mr. Wotton, in shoes, stockings, underwear, night dress and red wrapper; the shawl which the woman wore has not yet been found. No marks on her body other than what were caused by nine days in the water were found, and everything points to a simple case of suicide.
After the examination, the body was turned over to the family, and was buried Thursday evening at 6 p.m. after a short service attended by members of the Eastern Star.
Thus this mystery is cleared up and Orange people are profoundly thankful that the clouds of gloom and worry have been dispelled in the manner they were. Mr. Wotton and the grief-stricken family have the sympathy of the entire public in their great affliction.

The missing shawl, which was worn by the late Mrs. Wotton when she left home, was found Wednesday just below the furniture shop. This would almost prove that she jumped into the river above the bridge and not below, as many have thought
