Brumley is a nephew of Mrs. Williamson and worked on the farm of Tom Woods, his great-uncle.
Mrs. Williamson slept across the hall from the girl and both doors were open the night last week when she left. The girl also had her window up and Mrs. Williamson said she had best put it down on account of the draft. Instead, Miss Grace asked to be allowed to shut the door. In the night, she fastened a rope to her bed and slid out of the window and the pair was gone.
Wednesday, Mrs. Williamson informed the Troy Times office that she had not heard from them, but she cautioned us not to speak unkindly of Grace.
