The Mystery of the Missing D.A.
"Augustus A. Bennett, a veteran of the War of 1812 and a well known attorney of Western New York, left his home in Avon on horse-back for a business trip in 1839 and never returned. He stopped in Dansville and withdrew thousands of dollars from a bank he had been connected to open a branch bank in another village. He rode his horse out of sight and never was seen again."
