Description
"Old Colored Woman Dead" Aunt Susan Delaware, an old colored woman of the respected old time sort, died at her home on the Sam Walker place east of town Monday, and was buried here Tuesday. For 30 years she and her husband, Uncle Oscar, have lived quietly there. They had no children, but the old aunt mothered a number of orphans, and did her share of good in the world, so far as it was given to her to serve. Pneumonia was the cause of death. Her husband is now left alone. The old-time darkies are disappearing, and they are a real loss to their communities. They always receive the respect of white neighbors, which too often is not deserved by younger negroes.Date(s) of Creation
