Looking for Her Son.

A woman has just been hunting through Connecticut for a son whom she had supposed to be dead for many years. While living at Hartford many years ago she quarreled with her husband, who spirited her baby away. The couple went to the West, and the mother was told that the child was with friends and that in a few years she might come for it. Then they separated, and the mother supposed the boy dead until she got a chance intimation that he was alive. The woman was very poor, but she worked from this clew until the story was unraveled. The boy was found, when about 4 months old, under a tree, and adopted by a substantial farmer. But he was really dead when the mother gained this information.
