Baskerville, June 25.-One of the
most unexpected and happiest sur
prises which any family has expert
enced in Baskerville in recent years,
took place at the coy little home Of
Harry Morrison when j. L. Morrison,
father of Harry and Mary Morrison
dropped in on his children after fif-
ten years absence in Alaska and vari-
Gus parts of the western states.
Mr.. Morrison's family heard he was
killed in the west a, number of years
ago, and when he appeared it was in
deed a pleasant surprise and a happy
reunion The father and children have
been trying to find each other for
years.
The story of Mr. Morrison's separa-
ton from his children reads like a
novel. Mr. Morrison and wife, Mrs. D.
w. Reynolds, lately deceased, found
shortly after marriage that married life
was incompatible and divorce follow
e dafter the birth of their two children,
Harry and Mary. Mrs. Morrison kept
the children. About thirteen years ago
Mrs. Morrison married d. w. Reynolds,
now of this place. The Reynolds
family moved to Armstrong shortly
after marriage at Cresco. They lived
in Armstrong until about three years
ago when the family came to Esther
Vile and have since lived here. Last
March Mrs. Reynolds died after an ILL
ness extending over a period of years.
Mr.. Morrison went west upon his
separation from his wife and for five
years lived IN ALASKA. Later nc -e.e
to Bisbee, a town in the southern part
of Arizona He has been there for a
number of years and just recently left
there. Shortly after going west Morri-
son wrote to his old home in Cresco to
keep track of his children and kept in
touch with them for a few years. After
Mrs. Morrison married Mr.. Reynolds
they left Cresco, and since then Morri-
son was unable to locate his children.
He had heard a number of years ago
that his wife had died but was unable
to learn where or when.
Lately he came east determined to
make personal search for his children.
He went to Cresco- and finally learned
that his former wife had died in Esther
vile last spring and that the children
were living here. He lost no time in
coming to Estherville to Join them
In talking about his experience Mr.
Morrison said he.had seen the ups and
downs of life both financially and
physically and was very happy to be
again united to his children. Harry
and Mary We're so young when their
father left they would scarcely remem-
