Description

Sally Hoskins, an aged colored woman of "the old school", died here on Tuesday of this week and was buried on Wednesday. Her first husband, Alfred Johnson, and herself were for many years in the employ of the family of C. W. Broadhurst. Alfred died a number of years ago, and later Sally married Hoskins. She was known by all the older families of Parkville people, and was always a hard worker. She has been a great sufferer for some time past with cancer of the stomach, and her death came as a welcome release from the pain she endured.
