I would like to locate my aunts,
Mrs. Lucy Byrd and Mrs. Kitty Ro-
berson [Roberson], also Miss Sadie Roberts. Mrs.
Byrd lived at one time at 928 West

Roberson at 1114 1-2 W. Moore St.
Miss Sadie Roberts lived near Second

I was born and reared in Rich-
mond [Richmond], Va,. attended Baker School.
Miss Lillian Harris was my teacher.
Having served a long time in the
Army of the United States, I have
lost all trace of my kindred and
friends and would be very grateful
for any information concerning them.
