Orville Freshour was born about 1899 in Lebanon,  Illinois, in April of 1926 his wife Jennie dropped him off at the drugstore and when he came back out she was driving away. He claims he is very jealous and thought she was meeting another man or leaving him so he hopped in the first car he saw and took off after her. I found two newspaper clippings.
