Missing Boy, 3, Found by Cops
Burlington, March 4- After a three-hour search Thursday by Burlington Township police and police reserves, a three-year-old boy who had wandered nearly two miles from his home in Dulty's lane was found, tired but un-harmed, and returned to his mother.

Timothy Horisk was playing in his yard at 10.45 a, m. while his mother, Mrs. Ruth Horisk, was hanging out clothes. She said she told him to go into the house and get his jacket, and supposed he had obeyed.

When she returned indoors, he was nowhere to be found. She searched the neighborhood before calling Capt. John Lane, of township police.

Lane brought Patrolman Jack Shull and seven police reserves and they began a search through near. by woods along a creek and through the fields.

They were near the site of the new turnpike bridge when the missing boy was brought to them by Thomas Weest, of 12 Maple-wood ave., Florence.

My mom's side of the family is Swedish (and still lives in Sweden) and she instilled in me lots of Swedish heritage and traditions which has made me who I am today. My dad's side of the family is German and Irish and the most likely the side of the family I get all my freckles from. Family is so important, and welcome everyone to discover more about them, their history, and share about their loved ones who make up the history of who we are!
