Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - October 19, 1901 RUNAWAY GIRL HEARD FROM The disappearance of Miss Sallie GEYER from her home at Ironbridge over a year ago was recalled this week upon the receipt of a letter from her, to H.T. HUNSICKER, of Ironbridge, postmarked Dallas, Texas, in which she wants to know if her father is still among the living, but says nothing about coming home, as did the prodigal son. The father of the girl is Joseph GEYER, of Ironbridge. Over a year ago, she had a quarrel with her parent and after making many ugly remarks for her father to think of after she had gone, packed up her clothing into a small bundle and left for parts unknown. Diligent search was made for her for a time, but all efforts to locate her were in vain and nothing was heard of her from that time until several days ago when Mr. HUNSICKER, who is a neighbor and a friend of the family received the note from Texas. Like many of the boys of today Sallie had a fondness for blood-curdling literature and the father can ascribe no other reason for her going to the southwest. She had a particular liking for frontier stories and cowboy incidents and at various times had expressed a desire to see and realize some of the scenes of which she read. This alone, the father thinks, is what caused her to leave home in a fit of anger and seek the wild and wooly west.
