Martin Joseph Kenny was 14 when he disappeared in Northern Ontario after boarding an Algoma Central Railway freight train with a cousin en route from Sault Ste. Marie to Hawk Junction. On October 9, 1959, the car they were riding in was left behind at a stop in Eton and Martin did not get back on. He was last seen the next day, October 10, in Perry, Nebonaionquet Township, where he stopped for a drink of water before walking north along the tracks.

Martin was described as 5 feet 7 inches and about 126 pounds, slender, fair complexion, with brown hair and brown eyes. His father reported him missing on the evening of October 11, and police and volunteers searched the bush, tracks, questioned railway workers and local trappers, but found no trace. Investigators considered that he might have left to find work; he was a good swimmer and familiar with the area. His parents have since died without knowing what happened.

Does anyone remember family stories, witnesses, or leads about Martin’s movements in October 1959 that could help solve this long unsolved disappearance?
