"Do YOU REMEMBERP"

Lost Relative After 40
Years Separation.

All doubt about the relationship
of Charlie Markham, the new presi-

as the baby brother Of John Mark
ham, the aged bricklayer Of Hop
kinsville, was dispelled Saturday
night when the two brothers met in
Memphis for the first time since the

The scene after the relationship was
established was affecting, and teal 8
flowed freely from the eyes Of both
brothers.
Several days ago the two brothers
talked over the long distance tele'

conference was held in Memphis Sat
urday. The aged brother, who is 30
years older than the railroad presi-
dent, passed through Paducah en-
route to Memphis, where the Hi.

private car.
The two brothers did not know
each other by sight as John Mark.

two brothers about the family.
