Rensselaer Republican, Volume 18, Number 2, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 September 1885 — Mothers Stand by Their Sons. [ARTICLE]

Mothers Stand by Their Sons.

“Mothers stand by the prisoners the best,” said the Warden of Sing Sing, in a desultory talk. “No matter what the son has been, the mother never forgets him, and every two months, when he is allowed to see her for a little while, she is sure to be here with some frnit or delicacy to remind him of her love. Wives aye usually devoted for a short time, but if they are young and pretty, and their husbands are in for long terms, they usually drift away after a few visits. Fathers seldom or never come here, for a father is the last one to forgive the disgrace which the spn has brought upon him. This is but another illustration of the undying nature of a love.”— Brooklyn Eagle. • 1
