Thfrty-twO Years ON An Errand,
rom the ST. Louis Star


Thirty-two years ago Mrs. Elizabeth
Kelly gave her brother, John Cleary, five
cents, and instructed him to go to the
corner grocery and get some ginger snaps
for the baby. Mrs. Kelly waited minutes
hours, days, weeks, months. and year after
year, but her brother never returned with
the ginger snaps.
Last Sunday, just thirty-two years after
he had been sent on the errand, the brother
appeared at the home of Mrs. Kelly 3S25A
Maffitt avenue, and greeted her with the
following language:
Lizzie, / still have that nickel but not
the ginger snaps
Although her brother had changed great
ly In the years that had interviewed since
he left, she recognized him by that express
sion And then followed a happy reunion.
The story as told by Mr.. Cleary is to this
effect:
When Lizzie sent me after the ginger
snaps l wandered down to the river and
boarded boat for a ride. This bit of ex-
perlence gave me ambition to see the
world, and l roamed about from place to
place, until recently, having become pretty
well up in years and having acquired some
wealth, thought of my sister, whom had
left some years ago. Although / did NOT
know whether she was living or dead T
resolved to return to St. Louis and sea rch
Tor her. When L returned to the CITY the
first place l went was to the old neighbor-
hood, and began making inquiry at the
grocery store for my sister After several
unsuccessful attempts I finally met an old
resident. who gave me the information
which led to her location"
