The Editor,
Houston Home Journal
In going through some old re
cords the other day, I came
across some birth certificates
that have been on file for quite
some time. Sometimes it is dif
ficult for people to secure their
birth certificates and I am most
interested in seeing that these
get back to their owners. How
ever, we are unable to locate
their owners with just the infor
mation contained on the certifi
cate. I was wondering if you
would help me.
I have here in the office of
the Junior High School birth
certificates for the following
persons:
Robert Lynn Sutton Jr.
William Metts Whipple
James Carson Lewis
James Rhett Milam Jr.
Samuel Byrd Rogers
If these people or friends will
come by we will be glad to give
them their birth certificates.
Many thanks,
