The Ypsilanti Commercial relates how the lost was found in these lines : "General Ypsilanti, who gave his name to this city, turned up missing aboui a }'ear ago. It was generally supposed that he had been kidnaped, and diligent search has been made for hia whereabouts since his taking off. Yesterday afternoon while the new City CĂ­erk was rummaging around in the back closet, he discovered the long lost Ypsi. bidden away among the rubbish. On the 4th of July, 1823, Major Benjamim Woodruff made a speech at a celebratiou here, and suggested that the town be nained Ypsilanti in honor qf the General of that name, who had gained a signal victory over the Turks in Greece, which resulted in the independence of that country, Greece. This picture was presented to the city by the Greek Government about 1890."
