The last name in a one sentence mention of Theodore in Chicago&#8217;s <em>Inter Ocean, <\/em>is written as Troutveller. That&#8217;s a typographical error at some stage of the game, but it&#8217;s not an error of the OCR software that read what was typed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Troutveller is a variant spelling that results from the final two ts not being crossed. It&#8217;s not the sort of typical incorrect spelling that is based upon consonant or vowel sounds being interpreted differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other reminder is that sometimes people who made &#8220;national news&#8221; may be mentioned in newspapers a distance from their residence in a location where they lived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Had this disappearance been a discovery for me I would have looked for a reference to it in local newspapers as they likely had more information on the disappearance. My search should not stop with this one entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because there&#8217;s more information on the Troutvetter feller in his hometown newspaper. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve known about Theodore Trautvetter&#8217;s disappearance from Warsaw, Illinois, in the early 1890s.
