A Sister's Search
Union [Broome Co. NY] has quite a romance and if you would like to hear I will proceed to relate. About the first of September last, a young Englishman landing in New York City, desiring work in a leather store or tannery was in some way directed to Hoyt & Co. About this time Wm. Clark proprietor of the tannery in Vestal [Broome Co. NY] and residing in Union had applied to them for a competent man. The young Englishman was at once referred to him and arrived here some time in September. He has since been employed in the tannery.
It has since appeared that he is the only son of the proprietor of a leather store in London, and it is supposed that the young gentleman became entangled in a love affair not pleasing to the family and not being able to settle things to his or their satisfaction sailed for America. After his departure his parents relented and regretted his absence in such a degree that the eldest of his two sisters resolved to go in search of him.
The mother objected as most of mothers would at such an undertaking. The father furnished means and the young lady embarked on a first-class steamer and about six weeks ago landed in New York. Having letters of introduction to families there she found a home with one, and from that time has perseveringly prosecuted the search for her lost brother, visiting all the leather stores and tanneries in and about New York City, advertising in all the papers, etc. and at last, applying to the Y.M.C.A. By them she was sent to Hoyt & Co. and there received the reward of her patient and diligent search by obtaining as a clue to his whereabouts, that a young man answering his description had been sent to Union. She at once addressed a note to Wm. Clark, enclosing a photograph and desiring him if her surmise was correct to telegraph her at once. Miss Ella Clark, Mr. Clark's sister, being telegraph operator here, interested herself enough in the affair to send the sister the cheering dispatch, that her search was nearly ended.
She arrived here Saturday evening on Conductor Moore's train, stopping at the Cafferty House. She learned the residence of Mr. Clark, called and obtained the directions for finding her brother, hired a carriage and went over to the tannery near which her brother boarded. Upon her arrival she found he was in town, and on her return met him with a lantern and called him to the carriage. Once again brother and sister stood face to face. He returned to the Cafferty house and visited till the wee small hours.
On Monday forenoon she returned to New York, and on Wednesday forenoon he also left for that city. Next Saturday they sail for their home.
The sister is about twenty-four years of age, educated, refined, and apparently wealthy, and has shown a wonderful amount of perseverance in her search. She admits, though, that she had no idea of the vastness of the country, but is highly delighted with the new and strange scenes. It is supposed that the brother will receive his reward "over there."
