Friday, 8 Nov 1912--(Long article about the landslide win of Woodrow Wilson) Friday, 8 Nov 1912--One among the first of our citizens to cast his vote Tuesday was Uncle May Burton, now in his 90th year. Despite his age, he has not lost his interest in politics and always votes whenever it is possible for him to get to the polls, no matter what the question at issue may be, as he considers it not only a great privilege to vote, but one of the highest duties of a good citizen. If every man in the country looked at the matter in the same light there would not be half the abuses to complain of. That he may live to see four years of unexampled prosperity and general betterment under Wilson and be on hand to help elect his successor, is the earnest wish of Uncle May's host of friends.

Present: Children, four; grandchildren, seven. (Shelton Lessley and John Hezzie Pattrick absent.) Great-grandchildren 13.

Broad, formerly of this place, but now of Taylorville, Ill, was made happier a few weeks ago than he perhaps ever was before by the locating of a daughter, whom he never expected to see again and whom he had long since mourned as dead. When Mr. Broad first came to this country 28 years ago he located in Pennsylvania, shortly after which his wife died, leaving him with three children, the youngest, Margaret, being but a little over two years old. Placing the baby girl in the home of the child's aunt, he took the other children and came west. A short time afterward the relatives with whom he left the child moved away from Pennsylvania and gave the child to a family of the name of Gill. The Gills soon afterward moved back to England and took little Margaret with them, and Mr. Broad was never able to get any trace of her. The Gills returned to this country only last year, locating at Boone, Iowa. Miss Broad, who did not know until about five years ago that the Gills were not her parents, set about to locate her father if she could on reaching Boone, and hearing that a man of the name of Broad at one time lived here wrote to Post Master Rankin for his address. Mr. Rankin forwarded the letter to Mrs. Chas. Burnham, of Taylorville, a daughter of Mr. Broad, and as the letter contained the particulars of the writer's birth and family history the joy of Mrs. Burnham in discovering the long lost sister can better be imagined than described. As soon as Miss Broad heard from Mrs. Burnham she took the first train for Taylorville, where after a separation of 28 years she was united with her family.
