Separated family seeks Cleveland mother in Indiana reunion
Mrs Mary Johnson now resides in Cleveland and hopes to reach Indianapolis in time to see her son Will Jones dying of consumption at his sister’s home. The boy, age 24, and Emma and Alice Jones grew up apart after a custody dispute and a later suicide of the infant brother. Will served as a health officer before illness forced retirement. A police chief’s letter from Cleveland prompted the search, and Mrs Johnson plans to travel to Indianapolis for a potential reconciliation.
