Case of Robert Byard.
The following letter has been received from the overseer of the poor at Medford, Mass.:
MEDFORD, MASS. Dec. 9. 1898.
Editor of the Weekly Messenger :
Dear Sir.--Your paper of Dec. 1st containing a notice of information wanted of Robert Byard, a colored man and a soldier in the war of the rebellion, has been placed in my hands.
A colored man by the same name has resided here for nearly or quite twenty years. He died here Oct. 28, 1898. I find from the Adjutant General's report that he enlisted in the Fifty-fourth Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers (colored) March 28, 1863 and discharged Aug. 20, 1865, at the close of the war. He was a large sized man and called his age 66 years. By his looks he appeared older. In conversation with him I understood that he was never married. I will give any further information or help in any way that I can.
Address, Calvin H. Clark
Medford, Mass.
