sister, Verla Mae, play
ing with Sid Herbert's children,
Betty, Louise and Jimmy.
"Verla Mao and tho children
went over to play at the Mills
school playground and the little
park near there, and Sonny came
on homo. Verla Mao came home
about two o'clock and I asked
her to look for "Sonny." Sho
told mo he waa out playing by
the Bide of the house.
Police Came
"We didn't mlea him until po
lice came here about 10 minutes
to six o'clock and asked us it
our little boy was lost. I guess
Verla Mne called them from the
grocery store when we sent her
to the neighbors to toll Sonny to
come In and eat.
"Wo thought Sonny was play
ing out in front with a little
boy, Teddy Hamilton, about five
years old. When wo sent Verla
Mae to look for him it was be
tween half post three or four
o'clock. He has never gone, away
from home, wo weren't especially
worried because we thought he
might be playing In a neighbor's
yard near here.
Search Started
"Of course wo started right
out looking, got In the car and
drove around, went 'way up on
hills around here but couldn't
find any trace of him. Wo drove
downtown, too, and to all the
neighbors and our relatives think
ing he might havo walked over
to see some ot the folks.
"Sonny was born at Cottage
hospital in Klamath Falls on
July the ninth, 1936. He has
always been a bright, strong
llttin follow. You have his des
cription. Bright red hair, round
cheeks and freckles. Whcu I saw
him last on Sunday afternoon he
bad his little boots on, they
come up to the calf, some knee
length socks and short, under
wear. He wasn't dressed for real
cold weather as Sunday was
pretty warm. He had on little
blue denim overalls that strap
over the shoulder and a brown
turtle neck sweater with long
sleeves.
"Everyone has been wonderful
to help us find blm. We didn't
sleep last night. We appreciate
everything people are doing."
