Unnamed preacher reunited with daughter
September 16, 1881
The mingling of contrary emotions
that sometimes accompanies a domestic
discovery is illustrated in the experience
of a Louisville preacher of color, who re-
cently found in his church a daughter
whom he had last seen on sale at the auc-
tion block before the war. His parental
joy was dashed with alarm at learning
that the child's mother was still living,
while he had married another wife. Col-
ored Enoch Arden cases have been plenty
as blackberries, thanks to the peculiar in-
stitution; but considering this worthy
preacher's cloth, it may well be doubted
whether his discovery of his daughter
compensated for his unintentional figur-
ing as a bigamist.
