Emma Griffis searching for her son Malekiah Parr

MR. EDITOR––I wish to find my
son. His name is Malekiah Parr,
or Malekiah Hymon; he goes by
both of these names. I have not
heard from him for about six years;
he is living in some part of Louis-
iana [Louisiana], but I do not remember the
place; the last time I heard from
him he said it was six hours ride by
rail from where he lived to New Or-
leans [Orleans]. He is bright, and his face
is very much disfiguered by small-
pox [smallpox] marks; he has ridges on his
face from scratching while suffer-
ing [suffering] with that disease. He is mar-
ried [married], and had a little boy which he
named Ely Hymon after his father.
Any information of him will be
gladly received by his mother,
Emma Griffis; address me at Clark
Chapel M. E. Church, Nashville,
Tenn.
