"Mrs. Julie Shortridge Dead At Ninety-Three - Woman of Genteel Rearing Remained an Aristocrat Through Many Vicissitudes" (excerpted from longer article) "Parents Were Sturdy But Refined" - She was the typical daughter of a widow (Juliana McAdow) who could stand by the side of her slave while he was whipped by order of a justice in merited punishment, and then could bind his wounds and advise against ever again breaking the law. She was the loyal daughter of a stalwart man (Dr. Samuel McAdow) who, though accustomed to obedience from all his slaves to his slightest wish, yet respected their fealty sufficiently to entrust the care of his family to one of his older black men and cautioned his children that while he was absent on the ill-fated Panama trip, they were to do his (the slave's) bidding, or merit and receive his punishment. Through the long years following Dr. McAdow's death, old "Mose" was faithful to his trust and the children never forgot their father’s admonition."Date(s) of Creation
