    3. San Jose (CA) Evening News, January 29, 1912, p. 8. TRACES SISTER THROUGH A MILLINERY SIGN Mount Carmel, Ill., Jan. 29-Joseph Wellman of Nashville, Indiana, who left home January 8, 1911, in search of his sister, Mrs. Alice Evans who he had not seen for 48 years, has found her at Robinson, north of Mt. Carmel. Wellman read an account of a railroad wreck near St. Louis in which a Mrs. Evans had been killed. He was led to believe this was his sister. He told his family he was going to see and would not return until he had found her, if the dead woman was not his sister. He went to St. Louis, then to Kansas, but found no trace. He then went to Bloomington, Ill., where he had lived and there learned she had conducted a millinery in Noble, Ill. He was walking in Robinson and saw a millinery sign. Opening the door he came face to face with his sister. She did not recognize him, but he was soon able to establish his identity.
