Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, August 7, 1919 Plattsmouth, Cass County, Nebraska [front page headline, first portion cut off] At the Time of Death of His Wife and Removal from City � Lost All track of Her From Monday�s Daily John BURKE, a resident of this city some fourteen years ago, when he was in the employ of the Burlington at the shops here, was in Plattsmouth yesterday, searching for some trace of his daughter, whom he left here in care of the Phillip BACHELOR family at the time of his leaving the city. While living here, Mr. Burke had the misfortune to lose his wife, and was left with a baby girl on his hands, which he was unable to take care of himself. Accordingly, he placed the little one in the care of the Bachelor family until such time as he could secure another home for her. In due course of time the Bachelor family removed from this locality and the father of the girl has been unable to get in touch with them or learn the whereabouts of his daughter, whom he left here twelve years ago. Mr. Burke stated that he had heard the child had been given by the Bachelor family to someone else to care for, but was unable to get any definite information as to this. A careful inquiry by the father among the old residents of the community failed to bring any additional light on the matter of the lost daughter and Mr. Burke was compelled to leave the city without having obtained the much sought-after information. Before coming to this city, Mr. Burke was a resident of Pacific for a number of years and for the past few years has made his home at Marshalltown, Iowa, where he is engaged in railroad work. Anyone who might know of the whereabouts of the daughter will earn the everlasting gratitude of the father by communicating with him. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
