TWO COLORED MEN.

Information Wanted As to Alex Desembly and Frank Mc-Farland

Springfield, Mo. February 8th, 1912.

Hon. J. F. Barbour, Maysville, Ky.

Dear Sir: I understand that you are ex-tensively acquainted throughout Mason coun-ty, Kentucky, and I am writing to in-quire if you ever knew or heard of two men named Alexander Desembly and Frank McFarland. They are supposed to have been Negroes, and they both served in Company II 13 U. S. Colored Kentucky Artillery, Northern Army,during the Civil War, and were resi-dents of Mason county. I suppose these men had been slaves, and perhaps belonged to someone named Desembly and McFarland in Mason county.

I should like very much to find out if they are still living and their present address-es,if they are dead, would like the name and address of their widows or some of their family, and if you can give me any information in regard to them or refer me to someone who might be able to, I will very much appreciate it.

Yours truly,

T. M. HUBBELL.
