  	A Mysterious Case Nothing Yet Heard of Alexander Nevin, of Sewickley Neither trace nor clue to the whereabouts of Alexander Nevin, of Sewickley, Vice President of the First National Bank of Allegheny, has been obtained by the family of the missing man, and his wife os so prostrated that she is unable to see anyone. Since the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Nevin from the Gilsey House in New York, some three weeks ago, the news of which was exclusively published in the Dispatch, there has been an unremitting search made by the family to locate him, but so far with no success. The Nevin home at Sewickley presented a mournful aspect yesterday and a Dispatch man was informed that there had been nothing whatsoever heard of or from the absent one.

  	Thought Dead; Is Found Alexander B. Nevin Missing 22 Years, Is Located in Florida After having been legally dead by the courts and given up as such by friends and relatives, Alexander B. Nevin, who disappeared from his home in Sewickley 22 year ago, has been located in a town near Pensacola, Fla. Three years before Nevin disappeared, he was married to the daughter of a prominent Sewickley family. She obtained a divorce on the ground that he was dead, remarried and moved to California. Nevin is a son of the late T. H. Nevin, a lead manufacturer. He was assistant cashier of a North Side bank when he left home for the West. There was no trace of him to be found until the postmaster of Sewickley some time ago received an anonymous letter from the Florida town asking if certain persons in the borough were still alive.He showed it in a casual sort of way to Attorney Franklin T. Nevin, who recognized the handwriting and started South. He found his brother employed there as agent for a large Florida estate.
