The Story of a Mother-Love, by Annette Fitch-Brewer. (Jefferson, OH: published by the author, 1913). The author was Mary Annette Fitch, No. 7865, born in 1870. In 1893, she married Isaac Curtis Brewer, a wealthy manufacturer from Sandusky, Ohio. They divorced in December 1905, with custody of their only child, Isaac Curtis, Jr. awarded to the father. Annette fled with the 5-year-old to western United States and Canada, using aliases and staying one jump ahead of the father's attorney and private detectives.
Curtis, Sr. issued a wanted poster (see above), seeking the return of his son. Having heard that they were in Canada, he had the text printed in both French and English.
