ARE REUNITED
AFTER II YEARS
Deathbed Confession Of Foster
Mother Results in Bringing
Mother and Son Together.

Enid, Okla.-A deathbed confession
resulted In the uniting OF son and
his mother here after separation of
% years. The son was Chester Tuck
er, thirty-two, of Kansas City, and the
mother, Mrs. Brooks Of this city.
When an infant, not yet a year old,
Mrs. Brooks and her husband sepa-
rated. The father demanded the
child, but was refused. Fearing that
her husband might use other methods
to obtain possession Of the child, Mrs.
Brooks gave the boy into the care of
a friend, then living in Kirksville, Mo.
Years rolled on, and Mrs. Brooks,
according to her story, told recently,
married again, she having received
divorce from her first husband. It
was then that she asked the return of
the boy from her friend. But in those
years Of constant companionship with
the child the friend had become so
attached to It that she refused.
Disappointed. Mrs. Brooks and her
husband moved from Ilirksville to
Enid to make their home. She con-
tinued her requests for the boy In
many letters sent the friend, to which
few replies were received. But at all
times did the friend maintain that she
could not part with one whom she now
looked on as her son.
When the boy was sixteen years old
the true mother heard that he had
married. Later she learned of his en-
listment in the United States army,
and his dispatch to the backgrounds
Of France. From that time until few
days ago she heard nothing of him,
and had given him up as killed in bat
tie.
But the boy. now young man, had
returned safely from the front. After
his discharge he went to Kansas City
to make his home.
Soon after his return from overseas
fuckers foster mother was taken i'll.
He made the trip to the home, and it
was then that his mother" who died
soon afterwards, confessed that the
woman who had called at their home
many times. and who was always
spoken of to him as Aunt Milly, was
really his mother. She told him his
mother lived in Oklahoma.
Tucker then instituted q search for
his mother. He succeeded in tracing
her to this city, and while here on
business called at her home And thus
