Surname: Sullivan, Daniels
-------------------------

I'm looking for a newspaper article relating a story about a woman (Sarah
Sullivan) who stole her 2 sons back from their adoptive parents. The adoptive
father was a judge in the Denver, CO area in the early 1900s. The names
of the children involved were John L and Edward J Sullivan. I believe they
were placed in St Joseph's home. Their place of birth was said to be Cerrillos,
NM (1895 and 1896).

My family was in possession a newspaper article discussing this incident
for many years but lost it somewhere along the way. I would like to get
a copy of it, but have no idea where or how to look for it save flying
to Denver and looking through each edition of the Denver Post from about
1898 onward.
