claims of another daughter for large
estate left her by her uncle, brother
in-law of Mrs. Campbel's by former
marriage. The history of this case dates
back to about forty years ago, when
three brothers named Donohue secured
a large tract of land in Nebraska. Mrs.
| Campbell married one of these brothers,
and two children, girl and boy, were
born shortly before her husband, who
was a railroader, was killed. The boy
shortly afterwards died, and being in
poor circumstances at the time Mrs.
Donohue allowed her husbands parents
to take the girl and raise it.
In the meantime the two brothers had
gone to their land in the west, and they
were followed by their parents, who
took with them the little girl. 1t seems
Mrs. Donohue intended to follow them
to their new home, but this was post
poned for different reasons each time
she intended to go, and she finally
married her present husband, James
Campbell.
After some time all trace of the
Donohue family was lost, and with them
she lost the whereabouts of her daughter.
Efforts have been made many times
since to find her, but as the parents of
her former husband had probably died
and the young girl became a woman it
was a very difficult and unsuccessful
task to locate the girl.
Now it appears that the brothers have
also died and left the estate or a large
part of it to the daughter of their
brother. To aid her in proving her
claim is the mission of Mrs. Campbell to
Nebraska. The daughters attorneys
have been looking for the mother. for a
long time. The case is a rather difficult
one to explain, but your correspondent
believes the above is correct version
of it.
