June 19, 1926, was a Saturday. The notice ran under the headings “Page E. A. Lawry” and “Arizona papers please copy,” a request to other papers to reprint it, so she seems to have believed he was somewhere in Arizona. On July 10, the paper printed her letter under the headline “Lost a husband,” describing him as 56, six feet one inch tall, with hair almost white, blind in the right eye, and walking with a cane. Hammond is in southeastern Louisiana. For where people in Phoenix and Tucson post personal ads now, see our guide to personal ads in Phoenix and Tucson.

Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined. Capital letters are also as printed: papers set the first line of each ad in capitals, so the capitals stop wherever that line ended, sometimes in the middle of a word.
