Appeal to Ira M. Dolliver, on behalf of Wife and Children

• WOMAN AND CHILDREN ARE DESERTED APPEAL IS MADE TO IRA M. DOLLIVER
The following appeal comes to the Enterprise office for publication: Raymond, Pa., August 3, 1915. I wish any one who has seen or heard where Mr. Ira M. Dolliver is Would let me hear from' them or if he this, I hope he, himself will answer soon or come home. It is four weeks since he left home. (Signed) His Wife.
Remember "The Least of These"
Upon receipt of the above the writer was Sufficiently interested to make inquiry as to the condition of the deserted woman and the reasons for her making this appeal. In Raymond and the vicinity where she is known she goes by the name Hattie Dolliver and until the desertion of which she writes, with the man, had lived in Raymond. It develops that she is in most destitute circumstances; that the little house in which she lives is terribly unclean and that much of the time it is occupied by her pets, consisting of turkeys, chickens and rabbits.
All Christain people might pass this by for she is a woman, about 27 years of age and any deserving, healthy woman of that age, can, in this community provide for her own needs.
But listen! In all this squalor and dirt are four beautiful children, boy of ten and three little girls al younger, the youngest being about fifteen months old. They have been sick and suffering but the physician upon whom the woman called refused to come to their aid for already the family owed him and he knew that no pay was to be expected. It was suggested by neighbors that the county commissioners be called upon but the woman was indignant at the mention of help from the county.
Wherever innocent children are suffering and being reared in a manner that they start life handicapped by wrong motives and ideas of manhood and womanhood,- there is work for Christain to do.
It is said that the three eldest chilLdren are of a former marriage and that their names are Taylor, while the youngest one is the child of the man named Ira M. Dolliver.
There is much talk these days about the "city slums" but there is plenty of use for all the energy and money that can be obtained hereabouts for the general uplift of humanity and for the unfortunate children who are innocent sufferers, right here in Potter county, and for the little ones the consideration of all good people should be given,"For of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
It is a crime against childhood. tha* little boys and girls in this Christain age should be allowed to live in poverty and dirt and in an environment that is sure to stunt and disfigure their moral growth and development.
A suggestion is all that is ever needed for the good people of Coudersport and the county to get busy, along any line of Christain work..
