Louisa Mitchell searching for her father Frank Walker, mother Harriet Walker, sisters, and brothers

Mr. Editor - I was informed by Rev. Charley Brown that the SOUTHWESTERN was a paper that would bring all lost friends together; he said that your paper found his people for him who had been goneever since the year 1867, and in 1885 your paper brought them within hearing of him. I now inclose to you the sum of one dollar for this paper to pay for it just as long as it will last, in order to get you to publish the following names of my people, who have been parted from me about 37 or 38 years. My father is Frank Walker, mother is Harriet Walker, sisters Mary and Charlotte Walker; brothers, Ed. Franklin, Simeon and Orange Walker. I used to belong to Monroe Holloway, about eight miles from Rockport, Missouri. I was a small girl when I left them in Atchison county, Missouri. I do not know what names my father and mother, sisters and brothers go by at this time. I am in hope that the preachers and class leaders in every State will please help me to find my people, by your publishing their names. They have been away from me so long I expect they will be very hard to hear, but please call them again and again until they can be found, and when they are I will let you know. Any information that can de given will please be addressed to Louisa Mitchell, Ga land City, Miller county, Arkansas, care of H. A. McCants.
