Mr. and Mrs. Dietz to adopt abandoned baby girl

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, January 3, 1924.

On last Saturday evening at about 8:30, Mrs. Mike Dietz heard a loud rap at the outer door of their back porch. She thought it was a neighbor and went to the door. On the outside of the porch on the stop step lay a little baby girl with just a thin garment on, wrapped in a quilt. The baby had no cap or stockings on and would have perished from the cold in a few minutes if Mrs. Dietz had not happened to be there. She at once called in neighbors, notified the police and called up Mr. Dietz and informed him that he had a brand new baby girl at the house. Mr. Dietz couldn’t believe what he heard, but as he was told that the new arrival had no wardrobe along, he hurried over to the first place that had anything in the line of baby clothing and sent it up to the house. The little baby girl has found a welcome home and will be adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Dietz. Whoever left the baby will have the satisfaction of knowing that their child will be well taken care of.
