Description
Visit by Aunt Martha Lewis. - - Monday the Landmark man received a visit that was as fully appreciated as any we have had. It was a visit from Aunt Martha Lewis of Kansas City.
When you know that "Aunt Martha" is the editor’s old Black Mammy, you can fully understand the situation. There is a love and respect between those whose parents had slaves during the ante-bellum days, for their old servants that some people cannot understand, and later generations of white and black people cannot appreciate.
There never was a better and truer person, in our estimation, than "Aunt Martha" and this editor was glad to have her come to see us. - Platte County Landmark.
(Researcher's note: In 1911 the editor of The Landmark was William T. Jenkins, son of enslaver Howell Jenkins.)Date(s) of Creation
