DEAR EDITOR: I wish to inquire for my kin folk. I left them in Kushshaw District, Flat Rock, South Carolina in 1860. Father's name was Dick Miller, sisters Ellen Miller. Chage, Lies, and William Miller are my brothers-in-law. Mother died before I left them. My first husband left here in 1865 before the surrender. His name was Daniel Miller. I was brought to Mississippi by Mart Miller. My name was Leathy Miller at that time. Any information of them would be gladly received. Address me LEATHY EDWARDS. Care Rev. J. M. Nevils, Kosciusko, Miss.
