MR. EDITOR--Mrs. Boaz of Fort-
son [Fortson], La., wishes information of her
husband, Frank Boaz, who went
away from her, here at B. S. Dick-
son's [Dickson's] plantation, two days after
Christmas 7 years ago. He left
here in 1879, and went to New Or-
leans [New Orleans], where he staid awhile and I
got some letters from him and sent
letters to him at the Union M. E.
Church for more than a year, after
which I heard that he went about
150 miles below New Orleans, in
Terrebone parish, and I have not
heard any more from him. He is
heavy built, five feet some inches,
yellow complexion, age about 54.
He left four daughters, viz: Naney
and Addie Jones, Drew Owens and
Emma Louis, who was not married
when he left. Address any information
to Diney Boaz, in cary of
Rev, D. J. Price, pastor at Fortson,
La.
