Minnie Wilson is comforted by a friend near her home Tuesday afternoon. Two of Wilson's children, a 3 year old boy and a 2 year old girl had wandered off somewhere around 11 in the morning. They were nowhere to be found and they were responding to calls. neighbors thought they had seen the children and through a series of sightings it was believed the children had ventured into the woods across a busy street. Emergency personnel responded--the call over the scanner was 'send everybody!' At 1:30 the children had still not been found. I took this picture above around 1:45. The little girl had just been found, but still no sign of the little boy. The little girl, dressed in diaper, barefoot, was being treated in a nearby ambulance, but she was fine. A few moments later a Meadville police officer walked into a crowd of about 30 neighbors standing along the edge of the road watching and asked for volunteers to help search. "We'll all do it!' more than one person said. As the officer was explaining how they were to conduct the search--a line search with volunteers spread evenly across an area and moving in a line through the woods to search virtually every foot of ground they could--a detective drove up to the crowd and said--'We found the boy!' The crowd cheered and applauded and several went over to the car to thank the officer. About five minutes later a car pulled up with the little boy who was then reunited with his father. The children were missing for nearly three hours, but they were safe. Meadville Tribune photographs by Richard Sayer.
