Description
Aunt Bonnie Irwin was 85 years old Tuesday the 1st of May (born ~1833), and is a pretty spry old mammy for that age. Aunt Bonnie is one of the few old colored people, who won and deserve the respect of white people because of their old time habits. It is regrettable that among the younger generations there are not a larger number to take the places of some of these respected darkies. That there are a few is the more credit to the colored people. Aunt Bonnie always had flowers to help celebrate her birthday, and was disappointed that the Argus office had none in bloom, but we supplied the need, and she was pleased.Date(s) of Creation
