Mr. EDITOR: I noticed in the SOUTHWESTERN, dated May 4th, 1882, an inquiry for some lost friends, who are as follows: Silvey, Tom, Ellen, Caroline, Queen, and Henderson Buckhanon. I would say for the information of the inquirer, that Silvey is dead. Tom we left in Arkansas, where they were brought to from Tennessee. The rest of the family are still living, and are in the neighborhood of Walker Station, Ford Bend County, Texas. The inquirer will direct her letters to Mrs. Caroline Bentley Walker Station, Fort Bend Co, Tex. C. C. MINEGAN Galveston, Texas, May 25, 1882.
