"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Monday, October 7, 1907 HE RAN FROM HIS STEPFATHER. Charles DAVIDSON, 15 years old, was found on Union avenue, near the depot, yesterday morning by Patrick GLEASON, a patrolman. The boy, who had only five cents in money and no place to stay, was taken to police headquarters and put under the care of the matron. Charles said his father and mother were dead and that he had been living with his stepfather, J. W. CURTSINGER, a farmer, living near Argus, Ind. "My stepfather didn't treat me square," said the boy, "so I decided to come to Kansas City and find my brother, Edward C. DAVIDSON, who works in an ice cream factory here. I left home Monday morning on a freight train. I had a little money when I started, but spent it all for something to eat on the way. I got here Saturday morning. I tried all day Saturday to find my brother, but I didn't know which ice cream factory he worked in and couldn't find him." The police are trying to find the boy's brother. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
