Slllic rrcycr Had Been TREATED
As Member Of Family Near :,
Richm0nd.

Homesickness and desire to return
to her mother, who lives near Wood
stock, Va, and not ill-treatment was
the real reason why eighteen year old
, Sallie Preyer left the home Of her
employer, s. N. Post, of Midlothian,
Va, Thursday and tramped to Rich
mond.
She had for nearly five years been
treated as member of the family,
according to Mr.. Post, with whose
family the young woman had been
placed by the Children's Aid Society,
after she had been sent to that society
for care by the authorities of Shen-
andoah County.
Some two months ago, according to
Mr.. Post, the girl became very much
dissatisfied and last week he and his
wife determined that it would be better
for all concerned to return her to the
Children's Aid Society.
Getting wind of this, and wishing
to return home rather than to
the custody OF the society, the young
woman left without notifying the FAM
lily of her intentions. According to
Mr.. Post, her walk of thirteen miles
to Richmond was unnecessary, as she
left several dollars of her own money,
as we'll as her clothing at the home.
When Mr.. Post learned of her dis
appearance, and fearing that harm
might befall her, he notified the Rich.
mond police authorities, who how
ever, on Friday we're notified by the
Salvation Army that the Young wo-
man had been provided with home
temporarily. after applying to the
army for assistance
MIR. Post declares that the girl was
never required to do more than any
reasonable person would require, that
she was treated as member of the
family and had been sent to school
and kindly treated generally.
After being located Friday, she was
placed in the care of the police ma
iron, but Saturday she was given a
home by an aunt living in Richmond.
