commensurate with the merits of the perform

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1885-08-06

A few weeks ago we published an ac-
count of a lady living in Kenton, o., by
the name of Neeb, who claimed she was
stolen from this county about twenty
five years ago, when quite a child, who
was anxious to find some trace OF her
parents if yet living. Through the eff
forts of N. B. Stephens, n of our In
Urinary Directors, the mother of Mrs.
Neeb was found at the Infrmary, in good
health and sound mind, and remembers
we'll the circumstances Of the loss of her
child. Her name is Hannah Tompkins.
Rooms, who was Superintendent of the
Infrmary at the time, gave the child to
the parties as they passed along the
road. The mother was overioyed and
wept freely yer the news Of the discov-
cry of her long lost child. Mr.. Stephens
has written to Mrs. Neeb at Kenton the
facts, and we have no doubt there will
soon be q happy meeting between the
mother and long separated daughter.
