A few days since, Mr.. Morse from
Sudbury Mass, was in this section in
pursuit of the heirs of David Patrick,
who died few weeks since in an insane
asylum in Worcester Some twenty-five
or thirty years ago Patrick left his fam
lily, wife and five or six children, and
went to California. Not returning, his
wife supposed him dead, and in time
married again. Some of the children
died, one or two were given to parties
who moved into the Western States, so
that nc clew was left of the family save
what was obtained from Patrick in his
sane moments, to the effect that one son,
| Frank Patrick, was few years ago llv-
ing in this section of the country. The
old gentleman left some $4,000, and Mr..
Morse started in pursuit of Frank. He
went to Newport, and, after fruitless in
quiries, made arrangements to advertise
through the newspapers. But while Wis
iting friends in Morgan, he learned of a
! Frank Patrick, more commonly known
as Frank Allen, who, few years ago.
had lived in this town. Pursuing his
inquiries further, Mr.. Morse proceeded
/ to s.Plunkett' and found the wife of
Paschal Allen to be the actual widow of
the said David Patrick. He ascertained
that Frank Patrick was in Lunenburgh.
Mrs. Allen, notwithstanding her last
marriage, will receive her portion of the
| property, while the remainder will be
divided among the children when they
can be found.
