The Indianapolis Journal, 1 Feb. 1894, p. 5 William F. Staples, a former Indianapolis citizen, is strangely missing from his home in Buffalo. He went East in 1888, opened a photograph gallyer in Buffalo, but met financial reverses, and now it is thought he is wandering about in a fit of melancholia. He left home last September. While in Indianapolis Staples owned a photograph gallery on South Illinois Street.

St. Louis and Canadian Photographer, Mar. 1894, p. 138:
recap of article from Buffalo Express, William F. Staples, age 45, disappeared last Sept. 30.  He went to work at the Ideal Crayon Co. to draw $17 and said he was going to Chicago.  His wife believed he was dead because he wouldn't remain away from his family for so long if he were alive.  He came to Buffalo from Indianapolis.
