MISSING HEIRESS FOUND
A FATHER’S LONG SEARCH.
After searching for her for over 30 years, to tell her that she was heiress to her grandfather’s fortune, amounting to £50,000, Mr Horace Allison, a retired railwaycontractor of Philadelphia, recently learned the whereabouts of his daughter, whom he last saw when she was six months of age. She is now a married woman with five children. When the girl’s mother died in her infancy, the. father put her into the care of his sister. Soon afterwards he went to Missouri, and the sister moved to Texas, then to Illinois, and finally went to live at Birmingham, Alabama. There his niece married. In 1889 the girl’s grandfather died, leaving her his entire fortune. The father, who was unaware of his sister’s movements, advertised in the newspapers, and continued to do so every week since 1890. Last week he received a letter from a friend giving information of his daughter’s whereabouts. The friend saw- the hist advertisement of till, as the father had come to the conclusion that his daughter was dead, and had decided to abandon attempts to find her.
