| Notes |
Henry Harrison Sell disappeared from his home Sept. 18, 1887, leaving a family of eleven. Henry was a cooper by trade and an educated man. He and his wife Nancy (Comer) moved their family to Kansas in 1882, and lived in several places, among them being Parsons, St. Marys', St. Paul and Erie.
Henry organized a literary society. They met every Tuesday night when weather was good, people came from as far away as Erie and Parsons', to attend these meetings. Henry was considered a well to-do man and had a Farm in St. Paul. A railroad condemned some of his land and there was a bitter litigation over it. He finally gave up the fight and planned to find another farm. He left the morning of Sept. 18, 1887, with a considerable amount of money and was never heard from again by any of the family.
Henry's disappearance was a mystery that all pursued through many years; there were many rumors that accounted for his disappearance but none were ever proven.
His wife Nancy said that while they lived in Kansas near Jacob Sell, Henry Harrison disappeared. He left because he was scared over his brother's murder and would not go out of doors. One story states that later, before he died under a false name in Oklahoma,he made a confession to the murder.
