3 February 1881
Esther M. Edmonson, fifteen years old, writes from Nokesville, Prince William county, Virginia, to Police Superintendent Schmitt inquiring for information of her father, Tyler B. Edmonson, formerly a printer, in the government printing office at Washington and supposed to be living in Cleveland. He ran away with Mary J. Kimball, of Iowa, on account of religious differences of relatives and married her. She died when Esther was eight months old and the babe was given to a family in Virginia to raise. For two years the father corresponded with the family and then ceased writing. The daughter desires to find her father.
