Newark Evening News

Friday 19 April 1912


JERSEY CITY, April 19---The police found it necessary yesterday to take care of Frederick Myles, of 256 Grove street, whose father, Thomas F. Myles, of Cambridge, Mass., is among the lost passengers of the Titanic. Young Miles appeared to be under such mental stress over his father’s fate that his detention was decided upon.

Today, his brother, Dr. James Myles, of Cambridge, took charge of him. Their father, a retired business man, had been on a trip to his birthplace, Fernol Island, off the Irish coast.
