A Long Lost Mother.
----
[Evansville Journal.]
Twenty-eight years ago Mary Stowers,
a slave woman, belonging to Harrison
Stowers, of Owensboro, was sold to parties
living in Shelby county, Kentucky, and
was with her little girl of two years
taken away, leaving her boy, Willis
Green, then four years old, with her
former master, John Stowers, who had
sold her to his brother. For some time
after her sale she managed to send word
to her boy occasionally, but after a
couple years she was sold to the dreaded
negro-traders, and was taken south, after
which all trace of her was lost. The
boy Willis grew to manhood, and by the
events of the war became free and came
to Evansville. During all these years,
not having heard of his mother, he supposed
her dead, but her memory was still
bright, and he often thought of her as
she must have suffered in the cotton-field
under the lash of the cruel taskmaster.
On Monday he was almost electrified
at being told that an old woman, claiming
to be his mother, was in the city in search
of him, but the lapse of time had been
so great that he was incredulous, but
faint as the hope was, he determined to
follow it, and see if it should prove delusive.
He went, as directed, to the
house of his uncle Ed. Davis, and there
met an old woman who clasped him in
her arms, and wept over him as her son.
To test the genuineness of her claim,
Willis asked, "How do you know I am
your son?" And the old woman gave
her reasons, detailing facts that were
known to him as having occurred. He
then showed her his right hand, and
asked, "Can you tell how I lost that little
finger?"
"Yes," replied she, "your young master
cut it off while chopping a trough,"
and Willis accepted the evidence as much
stronger than that of the traditional
strawberry mark.
The aged woman, after being sold to
Alabama, was placed on a cotton farm,
and worked as a field hand until the
close of the war extinguished slavery.
As soon as free, she determined to return,
and worked to that end, but ill
health several times interfered to prevent,
and it was not until two weeks ago that
she found her way to Lewisport, and
subsequently to Owensboro, where she
heard that her daughter was dead and
her son, and brother, (Ed. Davis), were
in Evansville, and now, after a separation
of twenty-eight years, the old and broken
down woman has found her son, who rejoices
at the reunion, and welcomes her
to his humble home.

AFTER YEARS OF SEARCH.
A Former Slave Finds His Mother, and Proves His Identity by a Strange Mark.
From the Indianapolis Sentinel.
John Easton, a colored fireman at the Nordyke-Marmon Works, has been for more than twenty years trying to find his mother, and about two weeks ago got traces of her whereabouts. They were separated when he was 7 years old, he having been sold by their master, William Hobbston, in Kentucky, to Dr. Henderson of Osceola, Ark. When the war came on Easton ran away and fell into the care of soldiers. After the war he came to Indiana and worked for years at Rushville. He then removed to Indianapolis, working for three years at the stockyards.
This was the story Easton told C. G. Kumler, foreman at the Nordyke-Marmon Works. As to the name of the town in Kentucky where Hobbston lived, all Easton could say was that it was something like Lovelace. Kumler became interested in the man’s search and learned that there was a Lovelaceville in Kentucky. He also got information that V. S. Lovelace lived there. Writing to him, he soon received a reply, in which Lovelace said he had been a resident there for fifty years, and knew many persons whom Easton had mentioned. Among those was Duke Robertson, who still remained on his old plantation on the south side of Mayfield Creek. Kumler asked Easton if he remembered the creek.
“Yes.” replied Easton. “I can remember that. My mother used to wash the clothes in a creek and dry them on the bank, and I used to go swimming in it.”
“What was the named of it?”
“I can’t remember.”
“If I told you could you remember it?”
“Yes, I think I could; but am not sure.”
“Well, was it Mayfield Creek?”
“Yes, sir; that was it, and it had a bend in it called Walnut Bend, where I used to fish.
Kumler then wrote again to Lovelace, inquiring about Clara Hobbston, as John called his mother. The answer of Mr. Lovelace was: “The woman you seek was Clara Clounch. Clara’s husband was and is William Hobbs, not Hobbston. She and Bill are both alive yet and live in Paducah, Ky. They had hard times during the war. They were living a mile from this place, peaceable, law-abiding citizens, but were awakened in the dead of night by bushwhackers. Bill was shot in his cabin and made a cripple for the balance of his life.”
These letters from his old home aroused great hope in Easton’s breast. He could hardly wait for a letter to his mother to reach Paducah, and wanted to go immediately to her. Kumler, however, advised patience, and asked Easton if he had any particular mark by which he could be identified. “Yes, sir,” he said, “I was born with two thumbs, and one was cut away when I was about six weeks old. You can see the scar on my hand where it was.” It was by this scar the mother identified her son, who is with her in Paducah.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>After Thirty-three Years.
LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov 15--An incident transpired here today singularly illustrative of the infamies of the late system of negro slavery in the United States, and of the unholy rebellion that led to its overthrow. George W. Moveety, a respected colored man of our city, was born a slave in Southampton County, Virginia, and in 1853, when in his 23rd year, was taken from his mother and sister and sold on the block to a negro trader, who took George to Mississippi and resold him to a cotton planter. The War came, and before it was over, George ran off, got into the Union lines, and became a soldier for his country and race's liberty. At its close he settled in Indiana, and a few years ago came here. Today he chanced to step into the Wabash Depot, and while there was electrified and almost struck dumb to find his sister, now Mrs. Petrin, and her husband and his old mother, both of whom he had not seen or heard of for a third of a century, and who he supposed were dead. They were en route to Iowa, and by the merest chance they were thus brought face to face as freemen, and not as chattels as in ante-bellum days. The meeting was a happy one, and the two families will soon be permanently together.

I am anxious to know the whereabouts of
my uncle Wiilis Staten. The last I heard from
him, (four years ago) he was living at, or near
Minshall, Ind. His oldest daughter, Alice
Verta, prior to them, had been living at Craw-
fordsville [Crawfordsville], Ind. About the time mentioned
above, she wrote to me, that her mother, (aunt
Harriette, wife of Willis Staten) had deceased,
and she had gone to her father's to stay, I
have written many letters to them,at Minshall,
Ind., and at Crawfordsville, Ind., since that
date, but have not, as yet, heard anything from
them. Any one knowing their where abouts
will confer a great favor, by informing Simon
P. Randolph, Jr., Steeles store, Brazos county,
Texas.

I want to find my brothers, whose names are
John, Charles, James and Thomas. We used
to belong to the Braziels family, Davis and E.
F. Braziels, and Misses N. and Emily, who
raised us. We were sold in 1857 to a man by
the name of W. H. Hogan. We lived near a
little town called, Satartia, Yazoo Co., Miss.
Our farm lay near the Yazoo River. Charles
and James were in the late war at Vickburg, in
the U.S. troops. I do not know the name of
the regiment, except that they were under men
from the state of Massachusetts. I wish to hear
concerning my brothers whether alive or
dead, also information concerning Pleasant
Miller and Green Braziels. Our father and
mother are dead. Address David Turner,
Madison, Ind.

ROMANCES OF SLAVERY TIMES.
There are more romances of the cruel days of
slavery among the colored people, even a quar-
ter [quarter] of a century after the emancipation procla-
mation [proclamation], than white-skinned people are generally
aware. It is quite customary for inquiries to be
read from the pulpits of colored churches asking
the whereabouts of a brother or a sister, or per-
haps [perhaps] a mother or son, from whom the person
making the inquiry was separated either during
the war or before the war, when families were
divided by the auction-block. The other day a
letter was read from the pulpit of one of the
colored Baptist churches of this city, in which a
brother asked about a sister, from whom he had
been separated for over twenty years. The
same letter had probably been read, as it is the
custom, in nearly all the colored churches in the
country. This one found an answer, the sister
being Louisa Smith, a worthy colored woman,
who has lived in this city many years, and is
now in the family of Dr. J. L. Thompson. The
brother is a preacher in St. Joseph, Mo., and
they were separated in Kentucky when the war
was in progress.

A written representation of a document.
Mr. Editor.--I reside in Madi-
son, Jefferson county, Indiana; a
free holder of some property; was
born in old Virginia, Madison coun-
ty, five miles from Orange Court-
house, ten miles from Madison
Courthouse, and three miles from
Lyson Mill. My mother's name
Nannie, and belonged to Mallier.
A number of years ago I had a
brother by the name of Horace
Buckner sold to the Negro trader.
The man that bought him was
named Humphrey Taylor. When
he came back after another drove
of Negroes he stated to us that he
had sold him in Huntsville, Ala.
I have thought a thousand times
about writing and trying to find
him, but I thought that he was
dead, and he may be, but I've come
to the conclusion that he is as like-
ly to be alive as I am. I am the
oldest. I have a desire to hear from
him. Gibson Maller, a son of old
Billy, brought me and brother
Peter from old Virginia, Jefferson
county, within five miles of Louis-
ville, and there we served until the
emancipation took place. Brother
Peter came to Indiana when I did,
but he is dead now. He died in
1882. A family of them by the
name of Buckner went to the South,
and if any of them are there I
would like to hear from them. I
desire this to go through all of the
churches, Baptist and Methodist.
A son of old Travis Buckner that
married Nannie, belonged to Orm-
bus Madison, not far from Orange
Courthouse. Aunt Lettie was living
in Kentucky the last I heard of
her; uncle Madges wife.
ALFRED BUCKNER.
