Henry Endter
August 1907
A man known as "Dutch Henry," and who has conducted a blacksmith's shop in this place for some time is missing and his whereabouts are unknown. One week ago last Saturday he made his weekly trip to one William Button's on East Hill, where he would stay until Sunday night or Monday and then return to the village. he was at the home of Patrick Murphy and left there the middle of last week and for several days wandered about corn fields and lodged in barns near by. Lately he has not been seen and it is feared he may be sick or dead in some secluded spot. Diligent search has been made without result. he is short in stature, has light complexion and hair and has a pronounced German accent.
The missing man is Henry Endter, who is known in Oxford and has a brother in Guilford. About the time of his disappearance from various parts of the hills surrounding Sherburne came reports of a wild man, or a crazy-acting man. He would be seen early mornings around barn yards and on the approach of people would take to the woods. Later, girls while berrying were much frightened by meeting him in the woods. Endter was captured Sunday. He was about half starved and crazy.

October 1907
Henry Endter, a German, dropped dead at the home of William Button on East Hill, Sherburne, Monday afternoon, Oct. 7, at about six o'clock. Endter was a blacksmith and for the past few years had worked in various towns in the county, spending a portion of the time in Oxford. His last work was in Sherburne, but owing to ill health had gone to Button's in hopes of recuperating. He fell forward to the floor and lived but a few minutes. Under the order of Coroner Manley of Norwich, a post mortem was held by Drs. Little and Lyman. It was found that his heart was diseased and that a rupture of the right ventricle was the cause of death. He was about 48 years old, and leaves a wife and two brothers.
