Information Wanted.
A colored man commonly called
Harry Bowen, escaped from his mas-
ter [master], Jerry Wayland, near St. Fran-
cisville [St. Francisville] Mo., about New Years night
1859.
It is supposed that he went to
Chicago, and from there to Canada,
but has not been heard from since
his escape, notwithstanding the
three hundred dollars in specie offer-
ed [offered] to the man hunters to capture
him. He was a large good looking
light colored man, and cost Wayland
$1,000 in Gold. His brother Charles
Owens is an industrious man living
near this city, and is anxious to hear
from him, and if this notice should
fall under his observation, or any one
having knowledge of his where-
abouts [whereabouts], they will confer a great favor
by addressing as above, Ottumwa,
Iowa.

EDITORIALS.
REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE
Henry Tolliver, a leading citi-
zen [citizen], living at 1413 Fremont street
is about to start on a trip to
Leavenworth, Kans., to visit his
aged father, whom he has not
seen since he was sold on the
slave block over a half century
ago, at the age of 9 years. The
father is a man of remarkable age
and according to a son who
recently visited here, has seen 127
summers.
Henry Tolliver, when but a boy
of 9, was sold on a southern auct-
ion [auction] block in Davis County, Mis-
souri [Missouri]. This was the last he saw
of his parent. He ran away from
his master about the time of the
outbreak of the war and came to
Des Moines. He enlisted in the
sixteenth United States colored
infantry, served through the war
and then came back to Des Moines
and has since lived here. He is
now a man of 64 years and the
story of how he learned again of
the whereabouts of his father
reads like a romance.
A short time ago a colored man
—a tramp—came to Mr. Tolli-
ver’s [Tolliver's] home on Fremont street.
Mrs. Tolliver gave him some-
thing [something] to eat. The visitor asked
her name. Mrs. Tolliver told
him. He said he knew an old
man of that name living at
Leavenworth and that he was
known as Alfred Tolliver. Mrs.
Tolliver said at once this was the
name of her husband’s father.
Mr. Tolliver was working south
of the river at the time. Mrs.
Tolliver kept the stranger until
her husband returned, and the
latter, after making minute in-
quiries [inquiries], was assured he had at
last discovered the whereabouts
of his father. He wrote to Leav-
enworth [Leavenworth] for confirmation and re-
ceived [received] a reply that removed all
doubt on the subject.
Early this week Mr. Tolliver
was visited by his brother Alex-
ander [Alexander] of Tonganoxie, Kans. The
two brothers had not met since
1862. From his brother Mr. Tol-
liver [Tolliver] learned that his father was
in good health and was able to
walk about. He has planned to
leave for Levenworth in a short
time and there will doubtless be
a family reunion well worth wit-
nessing [witnessing].
While Alexander Tolliver was
here this week the two brothers
called on Capt. Amos Brandt at
the state house and told him their
remarkable story. Mr. Henry
Tolliver had a son in Captain
Brandt’s company of colored
taoops in the Spanish-American
war.

Married After Fifty-three Years.
Oskaloosa, June 5. There was sol-
emnized [solemnized] here today a wedding that re-
united [reunited] “Uncle” Robert Warren, of Os-
kaloosa [Oskaloosa], and Charity Atwater, of North
Carolina, after a separation of 53 years.
The two were married according to
slave laws at Chapel Hill, North Caro-
lina [North Carolina], 60 years ago. Seven years later
after five children had been born to
them, the father was sold to another
master and taken to Tennessee, 700
miles away, and the family broken up.
No word could be gotten back and
forth, and finally Robert married again,
his second wife being “Aunt Liza,” an
historic character, who died here dur-
ing [during] the winter. Since her death Robert
has found out the residence of his early
wife, and as a result of correspondence,
the lady arrived here day before yester-
day [yesterday]. Both old people are now past 80.
They have four living children, two of
whom are now preachers, one a Meth-
odist [Methodist] and one a Baptist.

EXCHANGES PLEASE COPY.--The un-
dersigned [undersigned], formerly a slave, is anxious
to know the whereabouts of his moth-
er [mother], who is probably living yet. "I
and my mother were the common
property of Samuel Allen, near
Union, in Breckenridge county, Ken-
tucky [Kentucky]. When I was about nine years
old our master broke up house-
keeping, and I was given to Richard
Shacklet, and three afterwards,
was taken to Missouri, thus separating
me from my mother, who remained
in Kentucky as the property of young
William Allen. Since the war I have
heard that she was living; but I can
get no positive information of her
whereabouts. If living, my mother
will remember me by telling her that
I am the boy that was named Gener-
al [General] Wm. Henry Harrison, and can be
found by addressing
W. H. H ALLEN,

For the Nashville Union.
Information Wanted.
On a recent visit to Washington City,
I became acquainted with a colored
Baptist minister by the name of Albert
Boulden, and became somewhat interested
in his history. He and his old
wife are there, getting along very pleasantly;
but greatly distressed about
their children, ten in number, all sold
from them a good many years ago.
They were taken from Virginia to Alabama,
and sold to two men, Robert
Peoples and Robert Bibbs. It would
be a great satisfaction to hear from
them if they are yet in the land of the
living. It was thought by interested
parties in Washington that a brief
statement and the names of the children,
published in a Nashville paper,
might be the means of identifying at
least some of them. Will you please
give this an insertion in your paper.
The names of the children are as follows:
James Boulden, Julias Boulden,
Luke Boulden, Ann Boulden, Catharine
Boulden, Joana Boulden, Robert Boulden,
Louisa Boulden, Agnes Boulden,
and Albert Boulden.
All other papers in the south that
are willing to publish the above are
requested to do so. Any information
respecting any of the above named
children may be addressed to Rev.
Albert Boulden, No. 665, L Street,
Washington, D.C., or to Rev. T.P. Childs,
Troy, Miami Co, O.
Very respectfully,
T. P. Childs,
Troy, O., March 12, 1865.
