Whatever Happened to Fisher Monroe Douglas?

This advertisement (and similar ones) ran weekly in the Pensacola News Journal during the first quarter of 1906. No follow-up articles have been found, so the fates of the child and his kidnapper remain mysteries.

A Hugh A. Douglass is buried in the Euchee Valley Cemetery, but the father of the kidnapped child spelled his surname as Douglas in all of the advertisements.

What happened to the child, Fisher Monroe Douglas?
