Mr. L. E. Gideon searching for his father Robert Gideon

INFORMATION
WANTED
OF THE WHEREABOUTS OF ROBERT
GIDEON. He was born in or near the town of
Harrisonville, Cass County, Mo. He was a slave and
at the out-break of the war enlisted in the First Kansas
Colored Infantry, and served until the close of the war. He
may have went by the name of Rhine or McAfee, having
been owned by both slave holders and therefore used both
names. Any information concerning him or any expense
incured in doing so will be paid by his son, Mr. L. E.
GIDEON, Brocton Massachusetts or 392 West Fulton
Street, Chicago, Ill. This is his son, who is the owner and
originator of Gideon's Refined Negro Minstrels. He is
very anxious to learn the whereabouts of his father, and we
hope all who read this article, especially the old-timers, will
give this careful consideration and investigate to the fullest
extent. Mr. Gideon's son is a gentleman of refinement,
culture and wealth. He is one of the leading showmen of
the country, carrying thirty people and has been for years.
He and his mother would profit considerable if they could
locate him.
