Wedding After Forty Years of
Separation.
Our town is all agog this morning
over the wedding that is to be cele-
brated [celebrated] in a day or two between Aunt
Vina Johnson, an old colored lady of
our place, and a former husband,
from whom she has been separated
for forty years. Forty-three years
ago Aunt Vina was the slave of a Mr.
Johnson, in Fleming County, Ky.,
and was the wife of a Geo. Perry, also
a slave, whose master lived in Mason
County. He ran off and went to Can-
ada [Canada], but returned and got his wife
and child, and succeeded in reaching
Chillicothe with them, where they
were overtaken by Johnson, and the
wife and child taken back. She re-
mained [remained] a slave until 1864. Not hear-
ing [hearing] from her husband, and supposing
him dead, she married a man by the
name of Jerry Johnson, some four or
five years after being taken back, but
she was left a widow in a few years.
She moved to Ripley soon after being
set free. Perry, who had been living
in Canada until after the war, and
since that time has been engaged in
teaching school in Louisiana, wrote a
letter to the son of Aunt Vina's master
in Kentucky last March, inquiring
whether she was alive or dead. John-
son [Johnson] wrote to Harry Armstrong of our
place, Aunt Vina's son-in-law, and he
answered that she was living here.
Perry was at once advised, and he
commenced a correspondence. Eve-
rything [Everything] was satisfactory, and he wrote
that he would be here on Monday
night last. That Aunt Vina was all
anxiety and in a fever of excitement
no one need be told. True to his
promise, Perry arrived on Monday
evening, and the meeting was a joy-
ous [joyous] one. They have determined to
be remarried, and are making every
preparation for that event.--[Ripley
(O.) Bee.

Two brothers, colored, met in the streets of Cincinnati, last Sunday, after a separation of sixty years. Their names are Joshua and Solomon Collins. They were both formerly slaves in Fleming county, Virginia. Joshua bought his freedom in 1849, and re-moved to Cincinnati, where he has since resided. Solomon ran away from his master, then living in Ken-tucky, in 1837, and made his way safe-ly to Canada. The meeting was pure-ly accidental, and, of course, was en-joyed by the two old men. Joshua is eighty-two years old, and Solomon over sixty.

Description
An account of the resource
Mrs. Maria McSpadden thanking the Southwestern Christian Advocate and its editor Rev. M. W. Taylor for its assistance in finding her relative Wm. Page. She recommended the paper to everyone and was doing all she could to boost its circulation in her part of the Dominion of Canada.
Two ads were responsible for reuniting the author of this article, William Page, and his aunt Mary Jackson. One was taken out by Mrs. Maria McSpadden and can be found here:
https://informationwanted.org/items/show/2630.
The other was taken out by William Page looking for Mary Jackson, which can be found here:
https://informationwanted.org/items/show/2645
William Page also took out an ad thanking the Southwestern Christian Advocate for its efforts, which can be found here: https://informationwanted.org/items/show/2570.
Another ad was posted announcing that the relations of Peter Page, William and Mary had been found, suggesting that William may have reconnected with his brother Peter, though Peter's location is not given and the wording is somewhat unclear. It also says that all other brothers and sisters are dead. This ad may be found here: https://informationwanted.org/items/show/2659
It may be that Peter Page also took out an ad in the Southwestern, though that ad has not been found.
