Do You Know Them ? ARMORY, MISS., August 2, 1898. Editor of the PLANET: I was sold from my parents at Richmond. Va, before emancipation when quite a child—a nursing baby—my name then was Ann. I've been told that my mother's name was Millie. I don't remember anything of my father's name. My father bought my mother and set her free before the surrender I have a memento of my mother. She took one of her teeth and tied it around my neck. It is the only thing by which my mother can recall to re membrance her child Ann. I had two sisters, the elder was named Mary and the one next to me was named Judie. If any of the above named persons are living or any person or persons who may know them will be kind enough to write me of their whereabouts, you will greatly oblige a motherless woman who has been from her parents and people down here in the Sunny South for over 35 years and I am anxious enough to see my mother and father to walk 500 miles to see them. I am a chris ian, and cherish a hope of seeing them some day in that world of bliss where parting will be no more, and Sabbath will have no end. Dear friend and reader write me. Gratefully yours, LULA MONTGOMERY.
