A couple of months ago, the
Tribune received oommunica-
ton from Mrs. Stanton of Indi-
annapolis, conveying the inforna-
tlon that her two children had
been lost for several years, and
requested that an item asking for
information regarding their
whereabouts be published. A let
ter was also sent to Daniel Ia
coby. city marshall, asking his
aid in her state wide search. The
latter to Mr.. Jacoby is as follows:
Chief of Police, Plymouth, Ind
Dear Sir:
Eleven years ago, / was left a
widow with three children. After
a struggle of two years, i'll health
overcame me, and was forced TO
place them in an orphans home.
Later my daughter, who was the
elder, was placed in a private
home. and later was taken from
that place and placed IN the
Home at Plymouth Indiana. She
was subsequently removed from
the Plymouth institution, and /
have been unable to find any
trace of her whereabouts. She is
now is years of age, and / am
very desirous of locating her.
The girl goes by the name of
Minnie Glover. Any information
will be greatly. appreciated by
her mother.

Marshal Jacoby sought in
formation of the girl, at the Julia
T. Work Home north OF this city,
but was met with a refusal to
disclose the girls present where
However he learned that
she had been an inmate of the
Home, until ten months ago,
when she was placed in family.
Accordingly Jacoby wrote to the
woman, referring her to w. S.
Reynolds of Indianapolis, the
State Agent of the Board of
telling her that no
doubt Mr.. Reynolds could trace
and locate her for her mofaer.
The letter from State Agent
Reynolds to Jacoby is the sequel
to the tale, and conveys the in
formation that the woman has
found her children, and no doubt
will take steps to be reunited to
them TIE letter to Jacoby from
the Charity Agent is as follows:
Dear Friend:
| beg to- acknowledge your
letter enclosing one from Mrs.
Matte Stanton, this city, the
mother of Mime and Marvin
Glover. | beg to say that Mrs.
Stanton has called at this Office
and we have placed her in touch
with her daughter who Is now
beyond our jurisdiction. 1t is not
our policy to allow con1rnunica-
ton between relatives and chill
dren in foster homes under Is
years of age, hence we have ex-
planned to the mother that she
must not correspond with the
boy until he has reached this
ige.
Trusting this information is
satisfactory, | am
w. S. Reynolds, State Agent
