Cynthia Anne Darst 1850-1922

Cynthia Anne Darst (1850-1922); the daugter of James M. Darst (1824-1898); the son of Joseph Darst (1792-1869); the son of Abraham Darst (1745-1822); the son of Abraham Derst (1725-1772), our Pfeddersheim immigrant... managed to get herself lost just months before her wedding to William Taylor Shaver (1846-1907).

---- The Ironton Journal says: The young lady --- Miss Cynthia Darst --- who left home on Saturday, the 17th ult., in Gallia County, to go to an uncle's a few miles away, took the wrong road, and was lost for four days, wandering through the woods. She had at one time strayed to near Athens, where she came to a house and was put on the right road to Gallipolis.
