Elijah Gersham Cravens, a farmer from Okmulgee, Oklahoma, disappeared on January 1, 1902. At the time, Cravens, aged between 30 and 40, left his home on horseback to attend a "Woodmen of the World" meeting, a fraternal organization that provided insurance services. It is unclear if he ever reached the meeting, as he was never seen again. Cravens’ case has remained unsolved for over a century, making it one of the oldest missing person cases in the United States.
