On Friday, January 21, 1921 in the newspaper, "Island County Times" from Coupeville, Washington the heading read "Aged Greenbank Resident Disappears". This aged resident was my great grandfather, Francis Paterson. He disappeared the day before Christmas. According to the article there were searches and inquiries but no clues as to his whereabouts. As he was living on an island there were not many ways to leave. If he did leave, no one seen him go. Some feared that he wandered off into the darkness and perished. But after many times combing through the area, no evidence was found. Francis Paterson's disappearance is still a mystery.
