Is this Lillian Van Wicklen, wife of this Orin Van Wicklen? The Chronicle of Elyria, OH for 24 July 1923 contains the following article about Mrs. Oren Van Wicklen Columbus, Ohio - July 24, 1923 Abduction and kidnapping are crimes. Mother love is a virtue. To decide between them is a difficult task facing Gov. Donahey today. Mrs. Oren Van Wicklen, Canton, Ohio, adopted a baby girl. Happiness came with the baby to her childless home. But sorrow followed in the wake of good fortune. Mrs. Van Wicklen's father died. Expenses piled up. She post-dated a check to pay for the burial, it is charged and she was arrested. Unable to furnish bond, she languished in jail. Meanwhile the probate court made dispatch of her baby. Released, Mrs. Van Wicklen was heart hungry, sick, and lonely for her baby. Mother love overcame her fear of the law and she took the child. The Law called it abduction. Again, taken into court she pleaded guilty. Neighbors, relating the story to Gov Donahey, urged that Mrs. Van Wicklen be pardoned.
