    3. The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, June 24, 1909 Ten or more years ago MRS. A.B. GOOKIN, of this city, and the MISSES CARRIE and BESSIE JUDD, of Garden Grove, attended school together. Later the MISSES JUDD went to the Philippine Islands, where they engaged in teaching. MISS CARRIE JUDD was married to a MR. BRIGGS, who also was engaged in school work on the islands. Three children were born to them, one little girl, now being seven years old and twin daughters, eight months of age. Soon after the twins were born MRS. BRIGGS died, and on Saturday, the sister arrived in Chariton, and were guests at the GOOKIN home, on their way to the old home at Garden Grove, where the children will be put in the care of the grandparents, MR. BRIGGS expecting to return to the states in the fall. This is a most pathetic passage in every day life and only illustrates the hazards that are encountered by those who reach out beyond their own environs. --------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert July 25, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net
