Complaint made before B.L. Coursin, Alderman of Allegheny County, by Catharine 
Nunberger of McKeesport, the mother of Annie Nunberger, a minor born April 19, 
1883 at McKeesport, Pa.  Annie will lie and run around at night and is impudent 
and saucy and is very disobedient.  Uncontrollable.  Her father is confined in 
St. Francis Hospital. Signed by mark.
     Nathan Shipley deposes that he has known Annie Nunberger for five years.
Incorrigible, uses profane lanuage in public places.  I know her reputation to 
be very bad; she is a terror to the neighbors in the vicinity where she 
resides.  These facts I know from living close to her home.  Her father is 
confined in a Pittsburgh hospital.
     William C. Means, Constable: I have known Annie Nunberger for the past 7 
years and know her to run around at night with boys.  I have warned her and 
threatened to arrest her on different occasions. Her parents are unable to 
control her; her mother is delicate & her father is confined in a hospital.  I 
am a neighbor and know the above is true.
