WANTS HER FATHER
Aged Woman Continues Search
Started Years Ago

Born in St. Paul in 1853 and given to
strangers six years later, Joanna
O'Connor is still searching for her IA
Their, Lawrence O'Connor.
Postmaster McGill received a letter
yesterday from the daughter, post
marked Omaha, asking him to conduct
search for Lawrence OConnor, from
whom she has received no word since
he handed her over to strangers.
The letter states that O'Connor had
brother and sister living in this city
at the time, and that he was employed
as carpenter. In all these years that
the daughter has been separated from
her kin she has never given up the
hope of once more meeting her father.
The fact that she was ruthlessly placed
in the hands of strangers and has been
by them reared to womanhood has not
dulled her desire to once more meet
the parent who perhaps was forced to
give her away
