From the Lawrence Daily World for July 11, 1910:

“Thirty-three years ago Henry Whaley left his home to make his fortune in the world. He traveled about Kansas and Nebraska and all over the great northwest for many years, writing to his relatives, until fifteen years ago, when all trace of him was lost. A few days ago George C. Whaley, who lives on a farm six miles southeast of Lawrence, received word from Sharon Springs that a man was in the county poor house there in a partially paralyzed condition, who might be his cousin, and Henry Whaley was brought to his old home here. His sister, Mrs. Sarah Penry, of Lancaster, Mo., is carrying out the investigations into the strange mystery. Henry has no memory of the past eighteen years and only a few indistinct incidents of childhood. He bears scars on his forehead on the back of his head, one a very deep scar at the base of his brain…. The magnificent five ton marble fountain which the efforts of the local Humane Society has made possible for Lawrence has arrived. The drinking basin is to be located at New Hampshire and Warren and despite its substantial size will not materially obstruct the thorough-fare.”
