The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Saturday, September 29, l877

And now comes the cheerful report that a young woman named STEWART, residing somewhere in the northern part of the city, is the fond mamma of a rosy cheeked little boy, but just who the little orphan's father is it will not know, until it arrives at years of discreation, and then probably be in doubt. Seems to us that such incidents as this are growing monotonous, and unless Lucas County wants to go into the business of raising paupers for half the increase, it would be advisable for the Board of Supervisors to place some restrictions on the business, by requiring the fond pa(s) to give bond for the support of their orphan progeny.
