• Notes

  An interesting article appeared in 1914: Pittsburger, Missing for 21 Years, Found Pasadena, Cal., Oct. 8 - Missing for 21 years, Alexander B. Nevin, first husband of Mrs. W. A. Stanton, wife of a prominent southern California capitalist, and mistress of the imposing Grace Hill estate opposite of the Hotel Raymond, has been discovered through his handwriting. According to his son, Nevin, who formerly was a wealthy banker of Sewickley, Pa., is acting under an assumed name, as agent for a large estate in Florida. Nevin's whereabouts was learned through the recognition of his handwriting by the postmaster at Sewickley. The postmaster informed Franklin L. Nevin, brother of the missing banker, whose search led him to Florida and discovery of his missing brother. No complications will attend the finding of Nevin, as his wife obtained a divorce before marrying Stanton. Pittsburgh Post Gazette, 9/27/1914: Thought Dead; Is Found Alexander B. Nevin Missing 22 Years, Is Located in Florida After having been legally dead by the courts and given up as such by friends and relatives, Alexander B. Nevin, who disappeared from his home in Sewickley 22 year ago, has been located in a town near Pensacola, Fla. Three years before Nevin disappeared, he was married to the daughter of a prominent Sewickley family. She obtained a divorce on the ground that he was dead, remarried and moved to California. Nevin is a son of the late T. H. Nevin, a lead manufacturer. He was assistant cashier of a North Side bank when he left home for the West. There was no trace of him to be found until the postmaster of Sewickley some time ago received an anonymous letter from the Florida town asking if certain persons in the borough were still alive.He showed it in a casual sort of way to Attorney Franklin T. Nevin, who recognized the handwriting and started South. He found his brother employed there as agent for a large Florida estate.
