[FONT=&amp]Intensive Hunt Pressed For W-town Man, 72
Last Seen Tuesday at Homestead MALONE
-- The search for a 72-year-old Watertown man, missing from a Fayette Road home south of Malone since Tuesday afternoon, continued through Wednesday, but as of 4 p.m., no trace of the man had been found. State police identified the man as Hobert Webber, Arsenal St. Road, Watertown. Assisting police in the search were volunteers from the Malone Callfire- men, Owls Head-Mountain View Fire Department, Malone Village Fire Department, Radio clubs, a snowsled search unit and a number of area residents. Also participating were Troop B bloodhounds. The intensive hunt for Webber, a retired carpenter, began late Tuesday afternoon, continued until dark and was resumed Wednesday morning. Police said Webber is 5 feet 4, weighs 164 pounds, is partially bald and wears glasses. - When last seen, he was wearing a blue-striped, long-sleeved shirt, blue pants and brown shoes. The search was being concer trated in the Chasm Falls- Duane area, which is heavily wooded in many places. Webber formerly lived in the area and at the time he disappeared was visiting- the old family homestead on Fayette Road.[/FONT]

I could only find Arsenal St. Road, Watertown, in Massachusetts; there's an Arsenal Street in Watertown, New York. Not sure if this is a mistake and he lived in NY or if Hobert's home was in Massachusetts.
