<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>DEAR EDITOR—I wish to inquire for my aunt, Delia Stover. She belonged to Capt. Stover about 29 years ago, as near as I can remember. She has a brother named Jack Powe, who used to go by the name of Jack Stover. Just before Capt. Stover's death he made a will, and my aunt and father were separated. Aunt fell to Bob Gordon's wife and was carried to Texas in 1852. Her husband's name is Jim Paper. She now goes by his name. Father received three letters from her about five years ago, in which she spoke of us moving to Texas. We have written several letters, but only received three. The last we heard of her she was in Fairfield, Freestone county, Texas, where she said to direct her letters, which we did but failed to hear from her. It has been five years since we heard from her. She has five children, Andy, Henry, Ransopher, Martha and Adam. Aunt's mother's name is Judy. Please address me at State Line, Miss. B. POWE.

AGED EX-SLAVE.
Left a Fortune of $50,000 by His
Former Master.
Benton Harbor, Mich., Sept 29.
--Robert Busby, an old ex-slave,
was today advised by a Charleston
(S. C.) lawyer that his former master,
Bradford North, who died four
years ago, has left him an inheritance
of $50,000. The old planter
left an immense estate, and his
fondness for Busby, who had been
his slave for 33 years, led him to
remember him in his will.
Ever since the death of North
the executors of his estate have
been searching for Busby. Advertisements
have appeared in all the
principal newspapers, making inquiries
for his whereabouts. One
of these was recently seen by a
friend of the old ex-slave and he
was advised of his good fortune.
Busby will leave at once for Charleston
to secure his inheritance.
He is 60 years old.--Cincinnati

DO YOU KNOW THEM
A Fortune for the Relatives
SAN FRANCISCO, Cali., Dec 30 '97,
EDITOR The Planet:
Will you insert a
notice in your paper and assist in trying
to find the relatives of John S
Capron, who left Virginia during the
Mexican war with Major [undecipherable].
They came west and were for years
in Eureka Nevada where he accumulated
a large fortune. In year seventy eight
or nine he married a white
woman with several children. Some
years after she died and last June he
died by committing suicide and the
children are trying to claim all of the
property. He willed his lawyer one
hundred thousand dollars, so he and
the step children are fighting in the
court over the estate.
It is said that his mother was a colored
woman and his father white. He
never denied being colored though
socially and on business he was with
the whites. He was a cook, but after
he accumulated some money he went
into Real Estate business. His description
is auburn hair a little curly or reddish,
sandy complexion very freckled
and about five feet nine or ten inches
tall. I think if the State papers would
insert an item of inquiry and the pastors
publish it from the pulpit, it
might benefit some of this relatives. I
was called in the case, but could not
swear to his being [undecipherable] as I did not
know any of his people. Attend to
this immediately as the case will, I
think go to the jury next week, but
whichever side is defeated I think they
will appeal.
Respectfully
Mrs WILLIAM MARTIN
