DEAR EDITOR ---- Please allow me space in your valuable paper to inquire for my brothers and sisters. We belonged to Mr. John R. Goff. of Tucker county, West Virginia. I was sold to Wm. Elliott, of same State. My sister Louisia was sold to Bob Kid, and was sent here to Louisiana. My brothers' names are Jerome, Thomas, Jacob, Joseph and Uriah Culberson. The sisters were Jemima, Drusilla, Louisa and Eunice Jane. Jerome, Joseph and Eunice Jane I know are dead. Uriah is still living near the old home. Thomas went with the rebel army. Jacob and Drusilla are I know not where. I married Jas. H. Howard in Wheeling, W. Va., in 1868, and moved here in 1873. My sister Louisa is here living with Gilbert Daigre, her former owner, as his wife. I am very anxious to know their whereabouts, and any information that will enable me to find them will be thankfully received. Atlanta, Ga., Richmond, Va., and Baltimore, Md., papers please copy. Address me at Baton Rouge, La. JEMIMA HOWARD.
