Julia Brown, Tallula, MS, searching for members of Co. G., 66th U.S. Colored Troops who knew Archibald, or Archie, Brown. She is seeking his fellow veterans to assist her in her pension application.
In an article titled "A Colored Veteran" printed on page 7 of The National Tribune on 8 Apr 1909, ST Moore pleads the case of a widow, likely the Julia Brown in this ad. This article adds context to her request for information, which is in regards to a pension denied because Moore asserts her husband Archibald Brown was falsely labeled a deserter, when really released on medical grounds. His discharge papers were lost and his aged and ailing widow requires witnesses who can attest to his discharge, which she requires to receive a much needed pension.
Also, likely the same ST Moore of Tallula, MS placed four ads of his own in the National Tribune searching for one Edward Moore, presumably a relation, in April, May, and September of 1909. These ad can be found
