Chris Ritter

[Pamela]

Thanks! I came across an earlier story told by Chris Ritter in the Sandusky Register (Ohio) 1895. I'll try to post it this week. There was no mention of Louis Weichmann and there were many other differences, as well as many consistencies. Once again he was described as a believable, upright citizen. An interesting personal variation was that he was said to be a gardener. I recall in the 1897 narrative he mentioned being a real estate agent in Ohio.This story referenced another story published a few days prior in the Newark Daily Advocate. The Advocate, in 1897, ran a story with this headline: C.C. Ritter. Well known in Newark said to be dying in Anderson, Indiana.
