Four Tots Suffer Hunger as Boston Family Tragedy Unfolds
Four McDonald children aged 3 to 12 were found cold and hungry at 34 Salutation street by Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children agent. Their father William J F McDonald is in Bridgewater, their mother absent, and the kids are in temporary care at the Home for Destitute Catholic Children while authorities decide their fate. The eldest James, 12, acted as protector while Mary 5 and Willie 3 huddled by a fireless stove, begging for their mother. The piece notes the family’s past affluence in Lowell and hints at the mother’s ties to another woman and shifts in behavior. Police seek Mrs McDonald.
