NEWFOUNDLAND CHILD ACCOMPANIES MOTHER’S BODY FROM DETROIT SYMPATHETIC FRIENDS ABROAD SUPPLY FUNDS
If everything turns out as her many newly made friends hope, 6 year-old Madeline Foster will start her tragic journey to Marystown, Newfoundland shortly, acting as the sole escort of a plain casket containing the body of her mother, Mrs. Sadie Baker FOSTER. Mrs. Foster, who was 28 years old and employed as a waitress in a Detroit restaurant, was killed almost instantly recently by an automobile, while standing in a safety zone with her daughter. For a time the prospects of Mrs. Foster being buried in the little cemetery in her home village in Newfoundland, 1,500 Nukes from Detroit, were not bright. Money was scarce and the journey expensive, requiring many changes of trains and a boat journey part of the way.
However, little Madeline has found many new friends here, who have come to her aid with sufficient funds for her to make the trip with her mother to Marystown. Arrangements have been made with Mrs. Kingsley MacGuffey, Secretary of the Travelers’ Aid Society, for the child’s welfare during the trip to here mother’s home, and the first evening she will sleep in a lower berth with a gold-buttoned Pullman conductor as her personal guard. From Montreal to North Sydney, N.S., she will become the temporary ward of Grand Trunk railway officials. At that point she will be met by Mrs. Minnie Pittman, her mother’s sister, who will take over the sad duty of acting as escort to her sister. Officials of the Community fund have also interested themselves in Madeline’s journey and have promised to provide the remainder of the cost of her trip if the funds, which Detroit friends contributed, fell short. The above clipping from a Detroit paper of March 18th was sent us by Mr. Ernest F. Laing, native of Greenspond now a foreman with the Ford Motor Co. In his letter he states that the husband of the dead woman, William Foster Moore, 3965 Trumbull Ave., deserted his wife and two children about 9 months ago leaving them destitute. No money was available to inter the mother or send the children back to Newfoundland. The cost of coffin and passage was about $300, and Mr. Laing states he was obliged to guarantee the amount to the Community Fund and the Travellers’ Aid Society. He also adds that our authorities should take steps to see that the father is made for his children.
