     Herman Verch was referenced in a newspaper article about Two South Algona Boys Missing
Search is being made for two young men, Ellard Verch and Garnet Schruder, both of Ruby, South Algona, who have been missing since Sunday from a lumber camp on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River about 45 miles from Pembroke.

The two youths, who were employed by George Zadow, Pembroke jobber, left the camp with two other men Sunday morning to look for a trout lake. After walking a considerable distance, they decided to return to the camp, and while two members of the party retraced their steps. Verch and Schruder decided to take a shortcut and apparently got lost. Their tracks have been followed through the bush by searchers, but the snow that was on the ground at the first of the week has no melted and the trail was lost.

Men from the lumber camp and friends of the young men are carrying on the search, and the aid of Quebec provincial police has been enlisted.

Verch is a son of Herman Verch, a former Reeve of South Algona, and Schruder is a son of Herbert Schruder of Rudy.

This (Friday) afternoon it was rumored the youths had reached Brumm's camp, about 25 miles distant from the point they had entered the woods. This, however, could not be confirmed. on 19 November 1943 at the book Reflections of a Century compiled by the Eganville Leader (2002), Eganville, Ontario, Canada.1

Canadian Military Service

     Edward Verch was conscripted on 11 November 1917 at Ottawa, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada, a single farmer at the time of signing his WWI Particulars of Recruit form of Jun 11, 1918. A note on the form states that his service reckons from Nov 11, 1917. He was in the 2nd Depot Battalion, Eastern Ontario Regiment.1 Edward Verch ended his military service on 12 November 1918 At the time of his discharge it was noted he had pulmonary tuberculosis since an attack of pleurisy in 1914, so it was not due to his service.
