Orphan Annie Hock Faces Guardian Question in South Scranton
In South Scranton the life of Annie Hock is marked by misfortune. After losing her mother at age 11 and then her father two years later, she lived with guardians and foster families while seeking work at a silk mill. A warrant was issued to compel her to reside with Mrs Dankwith, though she resisted, clinging to a caregiver. Alderman Storr refused the warrant due to guardian presence concerns. The report also notes a local division anniversary, a funeral, and other community items including a potential embezzlement case involving Joseph Zalewski and editor Burdel.
