Newspaper Clipping, Big Sandy News, Louisa, KY, June 4, 1909
Buffalo (Johnson Co.)- A daughter of “Tip” Childers disappeared 76 (?) years ago, thought to have drowned. A few days ago a young woman of 20 appeared and told that she was the daughter. To prove this she went to the garden and dug up a doll she had buried years before. She says she was swinging on the front gate when a man came along and carried her off and took her to Kansas. The man later became ill and told her who she was and where she belonged. (Paper later said this was untrue.)

May Find Daughter Lost for Twenty-Three Years
Paintsville, KY, Sept. 21 – To See his daughter, mourned as dead or lost for twenty-three years, Tipton Childers has started for New Mexico.Several days ago he received a letter purporting to be the confession of a dying rancher saying that the child had been stolen from the doorstep of the Childers Home.There was a flood at the time and many supposed that the child had been drowned.
Note by Jo Childers: The date (76 years ago) must be wrong. I saw a letter from the woman claiming to be the lost girl (post-markedCanada)when my grandmother, Elma Childers, was cleaning out items on the farm (about 1958) because she was moving to Paintsville afterPerry “Joe” passed away. She said the river had flooded at the time the girl disappeared. The last time anyone saw her, she was playing near the edge. Folks assumed she had fallen in and drowned and the swift water had carried her downstream. In spite of a reward being offered, the body was never found. For whatever reason, the girl’s name was never mentioned.
