Where Mrs. Luetgert Was Seen:
Morris, Illinois
On September 29, 1897, the Chicago Tribune reported:
Morris, Ill., Sept. 28.[Special.]An unknown woman, found wandering near the railroad track, was picked up by a train last night and brought to Morris. She was demented, talked strangely, and claimed Chicago as her home. She was locked up over night and released this morning. Policeman O'Connell recalls a close resemblance to the published portraits and descriptions of Mrs. Luetgert, but the woman has disappeared. She wore a black dress, straw hat, was probably 40 years old, and weighed about 105 pounds. She showed a desire to get out in the country. The police think the woman went towards Joliet.
