An unknown person found several relations through the Southwestern Christian Advocate including their Aunt Mary Jackson
Lost Friend Found by the Aid of the Southwestern.
MR. EDITOR: I cannot say that I am stranger to you, I am from the State and city that you are from, Louisville, Ky. I came to Louisiana in 1885. I belonged to Major Throckmorton; I was raised at the Galt House, on the corner of Maine and Second streets. My father was Peter Page, he died in 1861. I have found my Aunt Mary Jackson, through your good paper. I had not seen or heard from her for 30 years. Your paper has found many lost relations. I have found all mine except one brother, Peter Page. The last time I saw him, he was in the army with John Throckmorton, he was in Vicksburg when I last heard form him. I am glad to know that Kentucky has raised a son, and sent him to the South, who has improved our paper so much, and can speak for his people. There are five in my family who subscribe for your paper. You have 20 subscribers in Rosedale. We have a nice church and many good people and may God bless the Bishop for sending Rev. G. W. Wells to this place. Rosedale, Dec., 18, 1884
