Yesterday a stranger called on C. W. Ives, introduced himself as William Wingate, and was seeking some one who knew his mother and three sisters who lived at Eleventh and Magnolia in the 70's – 80's. He ran away thirty-three years ago, lost track of home folks and now wants to know of their whereabouts. C. W.'s "Mother" Ives could tell him of his mother and sister, Nettie, a teacher, who lie buried by the side of their father, Dr. Wingate. He came West with his family, located on a "claim" in Rutland and died the first week in February, 1871. When a half dozen Odd Fellows found it out they walked in a procession to the cemetery. That day we were told that it was the seventh one, in the now "old" cemetery. No one seems to know of the two sisters.
