Cupid a very queer kid
In Huntington West Virginia Miss Sylvey Price wooed a railroad fireman she had never met in person through two years of letters and a daily kiss wave from the Overland train. She learned the man used the name F L Francis but could not verify his employment and found no one by that name at Ashland Kentucky’s station. The romance ended in heartbreak as the man proved to be not who she believed and the train crew gave no signs of recognition.
