Description

S. Tyler Moore, Tallula, MS, searching for his father, who served in Civil War. It is possible that he served in Company F of the 58th U.S.C.T.. This is the 2nd of 5 ads taken out by S.T. Moore.

ST Moore also wrote to the National Tribune in an article titled "A Colored Veteran" printed on page 7 of The National Tribune on 8 Apr 1909. ST Moore pleads the case of the widow of Archie Brown, likely Julia Brown who also took out an ad about her deceased husband. This article adds context to her request for information, which is in regards to a pension denied because Moore asserts her husband was falsely labeled a deserter, when really released on medical grounds. His discharge papers were lost and his aged and ailing widow requires witnesses who can attest to his discharge, which she requires to receive a much needed pension.
