Minnie Sisley Life on newspaper (1) May 8, 1894

One Girl's Folly
Minnie Sisley Elopes With a Worthless
Fellow Who is Married

Amos Farris is a young man who has made Quincy his home for some
time and is known as rather a worthless, good-for-nothing young
man. He had a wife and one child, but failed to provide for them,
and so his wife not long ago was compelled to go to her
parent's in Iowa.

Arthur T. Sisley, a carpenter, who resides with his family on
East Hampshire street between Twelfth and Thirtenth, is the father of Minnie Sisley, a bright and rather pretty young girl aged only a little over 14 years and she has been working for some
time in the family of Rev. Dr. Corbyn.

In the way this Amos Farris became acquainted with Minnie, and last Saturday he persuaded her to elope with him. No one knows exactly where they have gone, as her father Mr. Sisley, did not find it out until this morning, He immediately came down town and swore out a warrant for the arrest for Farris.

Chief Ahern has now the matter in hand and will do all he can to restore this young and misguided girl to her home and friends.
