Description
“Uncle Bob Beatty Dead” - The whole community regrets the death of Robert Beatty which occurred at his home Saturday afternoon. It is seldom that the death of a colored man brings out the expressions of sympathy and respect that the passing of this faithful old darkey caused. “One of the best men in town” said a man who all his life had known Bob. He was industrious, and above all to his credit, was honest. He was a familiar figure around town and always had a cheery greeting and a lift of his cap for all he met. The funeral was held Monday and there were placed on the grave beautiful floral offerings which spoke of respect of both white and colored friends.Date(s) of Creation
