The couple became acquainted some years ago on the occasion of the bridegroom's visit to Utah.

"Liz" was a well-known Bucktown character. Mr. COFFEY had never before tried a criminal case. He went on the theory that "Liz" was a public benefactor, in that she tried to rid the community of a worthless character. He showed that the woman who was attacked was really guilty of offense, that she had never done anybody or anything any good, and he fairly laughed the case out of court by bringing out all the facts against his client-as to water throwing, etc. The then Superior Court Judge TAFT visited the Criminal court to hear the case, and Judge OUTCALT, who presided,sat with tears of laughter running down his cheeks. When Secretary TAFT was in the city several weeks ago he referred to Mr. COFFEY's defense of the CARTER woman as marking but an original line of defense. Later "Liz" poisoned the man whose affections she fought for and went to the penitentiary, from which she was later paroled. ______________________________ --Boundary_(ID_DztP71Hs2fCe8LIOe6E/DQ) Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2003 14:46:37 -0500 From: Tina Hursh Subject: [OH-FOOT] Business Notices - Hamilton co.

Foster Parents and Grandparents Both Set Up Alleged Right of Possession. Behind the struggle of a mother and daughter for the possession of a little fair haired foundling, and which struggle may lead to litigation there is an interesting narrative. Eighteen months ago a tall, blond-haired woman, exquisitely gowned and bearing every mark of refinement, arrived in Cincinnati on an evening train. Mrs. Nettie Hefferman of 1551 John street, who has found homes for more than one babe, met the young mother at the depot. The mother handed Mrs. Hefferman a sum of money and said, "See that my darling gets a home, a good home." Then she left. That little child was "Savannah Catherine," the little girl over whom two families are wrangling, the fact that threatens forever to estrange a daughter and her parents. Mrs. Milt. Adams, so Mrs. Hefferman says, had applied to her for a girl baby to adopt, and when the child of the strange young woman fell into her hands, she immediately sent for Mrs. Adams. Mrs. Adams took the baby to her home, to love it and rear it in lieu of a child of her own. Mrs. Catherine Brockman, mother of Mrs. Adams, saw the pretty infant that her daughter had taken to her heart. She had it with her often, and soon learned to love it, too. She begged her daughter to give the child to her, but Mrs. Adams would not. As a compromise, Mrs. Adams and her husband moved over to Covington to live in the same house with her parents. This arrangement went well for some time, until Mr. Adams thought his father-in-law was trying to wean the baby from his wife. Then he moved back to Cincinnati. One day Mr. Brockman asked his daughter to let him take the baby over to Covington, because her mother was longing to have the little one with her. That was the last time the Adams family ever had their baby with them. Mr. Brockman claims that he has started adoption proceedings, and Mrs. Adams is in Covington trying to stop him. She says that she is the rightful guardian of Savannah Catherine, and that Brockman cannot adopt the unfortunate little girl without her consent. Mrs. Hefferman says that Brockman told her a few days ago that if Mr. Adams, his son-in-law, tried to get the child from him, that he would resist. Mrs. Hefferman says also that she will urge Adams to take action. And through it all, Savannah Catherine, the source of contention, is at the home of her foster grandmother. If the Brockmans do not desist in their fights for the child, Mrs. Hefferman will notify the mother of the child and have it taken away from here. Mrs. Hefferman has not seen or heard from the mother since that memorable evening, a year and a half ago, but she says she can locate the parent, and unless the squabble over the child is stopped, will send for her. ______________________________ --Boundary_(ID_DztP71Hs2fCe8LIOe6E/DQ) Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2003 14:57:45 -0500 From: Tina Hursh Subject: [OH-FOOT] news: 1904 Hamilton county To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-id: <1.5.4.32.20030622195745.017d8790@clubnet.isl.net> Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-Message: #12 Transcribed by Dorothy Wiland. *********************************************************************** The Cincinnati-Times Star May 11, 1904 CHAT ON 'CHANGE.

Remains of the beloved Wit of the Hamilton County Bar Were Laid at Rest With mpressive and Solemn Ceremonies - G.A.R. Members Attended Obsequies. Remains of the Beloved Wit of the Hamilton County Bar Were Laid at Rest With Impressive and Solemn Ceremonies G.A.R. Members Attend Obsequies. The high esteem in which the late Attorney John Coffey was held by the members of his church and his profession, as well as his associates in other walks of life, was shown Wednesday by the closing of the Temple of Justice, every room of which had resounded with the eloquence of the man, whose memory was so signally honored Wednesday by the large number of representative people who paid their last respects to the dead. Among those who attended the funeral was a full representation of the entire bench of Hamilton county a demonstration indeed seldom seen. The services were held in the Church of the Guardian Angel, the temporal affairs of which were very near to the heart of the honored dead, whose home was near by. The church was represented by men of prominence, for John Coffey was a most devout churchman, who gave time and experience to the ministration of it functions. He gave in proportion to his means, so the church loses one of its best men in this man. Father Brinkmeyer, whose sad office it was to preach the sermon over the remains of Mrs. Coffey and their two sons, performed this last duty for his late intimate friend. Prominent in the gathering was seen the blue of the G ? R and the bent forms of the survivors of the old Thirty-fourth O.V.I., which went through the civil war. These men knew Mr. Coffey as one of the bravest men who ever shouldered a musket for his country. Many attorneys stopped in their busy rounds t go to the house of mourning to take a last look at the features of their late colleague, who, after waging the contests of his profession in their midst for decades, leaves only friends in their ranks a circumstance not often tobe truly recorded. The pallbearers were Judge C. D. Robertson, Judge Edward Dempsey, Messrs. Guy W. Mallon, Geo. Mills, Harry W. Vordenberg and William McFarland Smith, all of whom were closely connected with Mr. Coffey in his daily affairs. ______________________________ --Boundary_(ID_DztP71Hs2fCe8LIOe6E/DQ) Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2003 15:07:12 -0500 From: Tina Hursh Subject: [OH-FOOT] News: great snowfall - ham. co.
