McNorton, Frank - song for him

Source: Greencastle (Putnam County Banner-Times, 4 Dec 1896  p5

“Papa and Mamma Have Left Baby” – The caption is the title of a new song written by Arthur Love of Waco, Texas and dedicated to little Frank McNorton of Bainbridge 7 years old, who was deserted by both his parents when he was at the tender age of 18 months. His life has been so eventful that this great song writer took it up and wrote a song for his support and to aid in his education. The sad story of his life has been told and sung all over the great state of Texas by the author in concerts. By a strange fate the little fellow drifted away to the World’s fair and spent some months in the great city. The court gave Frank to Mr. A. Finley of Bainbridge, who is proud of the lad. The song will probably be placed on sale in this city.
