CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
Fifty-Third Year. CLEVELAND, 0., MORNING, FEBRUARY OR MARCH, 1895
Happy Event
A very interesting event occured last Sunday (the
24th) at the home of Mrs Ruth Webbe, Lyman Ave. In the meeting between her and her two
sisters, Mrs Drucilla Johnson and Mrs Mary Wooding, whom she has not seen since they
parted in London, England, over 40 years ago, when the latter two ladies with two other
systers, Matilda (now in Fresno, Calif. and Letilla and also their parents came over and
settled in this country near Burlington Iowa. It was to these people that Mrs. Ruth
Webbe's daughter Nellie came over on the death of her first husband and some years
afterwards met A. A. Demn and married but subsequently got a divorce from him on account
of his intemperence and excessive cruelty. Several years afterwards she married Humphrey
Johnson, a resident of Collinwood, who had for years sought her in marriage, but which
ended in such a terrible tragedy last November.
Mrs Mary Wooding is 72 years of age, and Mrs Ruth Webbe has seen mere and neither of
the three sisters had any hopes of ever meeting some little time ago.
