Two sons find their father after decades-long separation

A Romance of Slavery.

Columbus (Ohio) Journal.

A very pretty story is told of the restoration
to his children of an old colored
man who was a slave before the late war.
He belonged to one master, while his
wife and two children, one of whom is
now a minister and the other a Columbus
coachman, were owned by another
man, who liberated them at the time of
his death. The three came to Ohio immediately,
and had never seen or heard
of the husband and father until, through
aid rendered by the father of a well-known
Columbus grain dealer, he was
found in Washington, D. C.
