Brother and Sister Meet for First Time in Lives

Wilmington, June 11—A 21-year-old brother and a 16-year-old sister, who had never met, were united here when Miss Mildred Moore of Bay City, Michigan, arrived and joined her brother, M.V. Moore, a proof reader on a local newspaper.

Young Moore left home before the birth of his sister and had never returned.

It was not until after the world war that he learned of his sister’s existence and established communication with her.
