Miss Eleanor J. Lovell, Cincinnati, Ohio, inquires for the pistol of her father, Edward Downs Lovell. It was taken from him by a Confederate soldier when he was captured by Col. Terry's Texas Rangers, during the fight at Stone's River. On the stock of the pistol was: "Ed D. Lovell, Fourth O. C. V., Cincinnati, O." The family will appreciate information concerning it.
