Stranger's Visit . Stirs the Ghost Of Dead' Father
Three brothers and sisters of Springfield were haunted today by the maddening possibility that an ! error by one of them may have pre- vented a reunion with their father. . missing since he unofficially was reported dead at Santiago, Cuba . during the Spanish-American war.
....
Hope of the three that they may yet see their father again was fan- ned into life last night by the visit of a mysterious stranger at the home of Edward Pullar. 1322 West Florida street, a son of the missing- man. The visitor. a man of 55 or 60 years, asked but. few questions, ob- tained an Incorrect reply and then Irft. obviously greatly disappointed
"Looking Everywhere"
- He refused to explain his mission. but old Mr. Pullar he had been "looking everywhere for you." It was when he asked where Pullar's father , Andrew Pullar, was born, .. - and was informed wrongly- that his birthplace was in Canada, that he lost Interest . His father only a dim : memory to him. Mr. Pullar remem- bered only that bis -mother, was born in Canada and supposed that his father was born there. ton. In fact the father came from near- Beth, Scotland.

The strange. xhe mia; have been Pullar's own father, was allowed to: leave before the amazing possibili- tiệt in his vistt dawned upon the Springfield man Today he and a brother and sister. John Pullar. who Ilyes on the Nichols street road -
Ociobuck. 1313 West Fiorida street. wished desperately that they might last night's visitor agiun but apparently faced a stone wall in wfeir search for him.
May Involve Estate
It is detteved certain that the stranger's visit either concerned news of their father's fate or a pos-' sible estate left to him In Scotland. Mrs. Octobock was informed a few. -years ago that a wealthy member. ; of the Pullar family connected with a dve works at Beth. Scotland. had : died.
Mrs. Ociobock s mother. who died .

The money ney- er . came. and Mrs. Pullar heard nothing more of her husband's fate excepting a newspaper clipping sent in her by her brother, which said Mir. Puna; was eat ..

Memories Kept Alive
The family was living at the time of the Spanish-American war in - Mobile. Ala. Mrs. Octohock remem- .... bers that several years after her! father's reported death. while she" ratill was a small child. a strange. ; man stopped her on the street as she was running an errand for her. mother, talked to her kindly for' several minutes and told her he was 'gning awa. " He promised to b ::::: her a doll "when I come back. bu: i that was the last she ever heard of him. Several strange incidents have

In addition to his wife and two | daughter, Mr. Wilbolt is survived by ; a granddaughter. Jean Cocsey, and by Smo alaters in Kentucky.
The building of the Wilholt for- ! tune constitutes an American bust- ness romance of the highest type. . The builder accomplished his fi- nancial success only after many years ' of the hardest kind of hard work. -
Born on a farm near Covington. Ky. ta 1864. Mr. Wilholt spent his early life there, going west in Wich- Ita, Kan. iban be was 20 years old ! with two chums. There his first job ; was driving a pair of mules hitched to a grocery store delivery wagon. While the town was booming he pur-, ghessd some land, giving personal Botes for It.
The crash came sod hia land wus worth Uttle but the young man did ! any kind of work he could get until ! the notes were paid off. The property i so hard earned was atilf his when he died.
Before be entered the of business Tor the first time in 1886 as & tank wzroa driver for the Standard Oil company. Mr. Wilboit returned to Kentucky long enough to marry the i childhood sweetheart who lived on } a farm adjoining that of his father .. To her be later gave a large meas- ; ure of credit for helping him build , the greatest independent oil bust- cem in the Ozarks.
Mn/Wilholt, after 10 yesta with the, Standard company. took hia capital of asco and opened his first station ! at Joplin in 1896. Progress was slow at the beginning and competition was keen. The business was chiefly in kerosene at first but later gaso- line came into use u a cooking fuel.
OPENED HERE IN 1902
The second station in what was to become the large Withoit chain .was opened in Springfield in 1002 and two years later the Wilholt family mored bere. A third station was opened In St. Joseph In 1907 and others soon afterward in Atchison, Kan .. and Nevada. Expansion then wu rapid until . the business covered virtually all of western Missouri and much of eastern Kansas. 1
Walter Comsey, Mr. Wilbott's sonin- law, became associated with him 16 years ago. A year later Mr. Wilhoit made him Springfield manager and planned to move his family to Kansas -- City. They sold their home on St .! Louis street and went in the larger city, belog greeted there by a alert e.o.m
Becotning dissatisfied with their Dew surroundings . short time later. ' Mr. and Mrs. Witholt come back to Springfield and built the house on Weller avenue to which they since bare ttved.
Sale of his north Missouri proper- tes, Including 20 bulk stations and " service stations, to the Phillips Pe-
troleum company of Bartlesville. Okle, was announced on May 23. 1928. In February of :!::. ;.... !. sold the remainder of his etations in south western Missouri and southeast . ein Kansas. This group Included 20 tuik distributing planta ar.d 46 ser. rice stations. The E. M Withoir re- . fineries at Joplin, however, were re. tained.
Boon after the last saie. Mr Wilholt spoke with gratitude of bis employes. "Much of our success." he declared' "has been due to our loyal employee Lod Also to the wonderful support we bare bad from the consuming public.
"we owe everything to the lowal employee and the fully as loyal pub- He, They have supported us through- R. there is anyone who should ffekt'fratanud .to the public it is the Willots family."
