One of life's tragedies was disclosed to
the Third Assistant Postmaster General
today when he received letter from S.
L. Dodds, of GAINESVILLE, Miss, asking
that the wheels of the great postal sys-
TEN might be set in motion to locate
his half brother, John Thomas Dodds,
who left Hickman, KY, twenty-one
years ago, and who has not been heard
Of since. Relatives believe that he Is
in some Western State or Alaska. In
announcing that his brothers departure
was due to a desire to start out In the
world for himself and not through any
trouble at home, the writer patheticalIy
continues:
Our father is now eighty-two years
old, and he is anxious to know If his
boy is alive. John is very popular about
writing, and is never known TO write
letters only on business, but having left
home twice before this time and in a
thought he would show up again. Now
our father cannot live much longer, and
besides the relief 1t would afford him
to hear from his boy we are anxious to
know his whereabouts on account of
fathers estate"
