RAN AWAY FROM FOSTER PARENTS
[Welland Tribune, 30 November 1911]
Mr. and Mrs. James Abell, Bald street, who some time ago adopted a girl ten or twelve years from the Barnardo Home, were surprised to learn on Wednesday afternoon that she had gone to St. Catharines with the intention of staying there where her sister resides.
The child did not show up for the evening meal, and inquiring among her school mates, Mr. Abell was informed that the little girl had said in the afternoon that she was going to St. Kitts and not coming back. The ticket agent at the G.T.A. Station said she had bought a ticket for the Garden City and had gone on the afternoon train.
Mr. and Mrs. Abell have given her proper treatment and held her as a child of their own. No reason for the girl’s action can be thought of and she will be brought back.
