"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Friday, July 17, 1908 AN HEIRLOOM LOST AND FOUND. A half dozen Union depot employees worked twenty minutes yesterday afternoon to remove a plank of the old platform. "It isn't there," they chorused as all bent down to look under the platform. "I saw it go down there," three women made the same remark simultaneously. "O! and it was a family heirloom, too. What shall I do?" a young woman said excitedly. She was Miss Belle EDMONSTON of New Franklin, Mo. "Were you looking for a watch?" a baggage man approaching the group asked. "Here's one I picked up over near the depot where someone dropped it?" The watch was the heirloom which had been seen to disappear under the platform. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
