A person from Louisville, KY thanking the Southwestern Christian Advocate and its editor for assisting them in finding their relations. They found their Aunt Mary Jackson whom they had not seen in 30 years. They found all of their relations except a brother, Peter Page. His father, also named Peter Page, died in 1861. The last time they saw Peter, he was with the army with John Throckmorton in Vicksburg. The author of the ad was formerly enslaved by Major Throckmorton at the Galt House in Louisville, KY and moved to Louisiana in 1885. The author claims that 5 members of his family subscribe to the paper and 20 in his town of Rosedale, LA.
Two ads reunited the author of this article, William Page, and his aunt Mary Jackson. One was taken out by Mrs. Maria McSpadden and can be found here:

Mrs McSpadden also took out an ad thanking the Southwestern Christian Advocate for its efforts, which can be found here: https://informationwanted.org/lastseen312/items/show/2631
Another ad was posted announcing that the brother and sister of Peter Page, William and Mary, had been found, suggesting that William may have reconnected with his brother Peter, though Peter's location is not given and the wording is somewhat unclear. It also says that all other brothers and sisters are dead. This ad may be found here: https://informationwanted.org/lastseen312/items/show/2659
It may be that Peter Page also took out an ad in the Southwestern, though that ad has not been found.
