Description
Aunt Jane Buckhart (Burkhart), an old colored woman who has been in the employ of Senator N. B. (Norton B.) Anderson for over 30 years (since 1883), died Sunday night at the age of 85 years (born ~1828). Aunt Jane was in her earlier days a slave, and possessed a character worthy for others to copy. Many of these old time negroes were honest, dependable souls, and it is to be regretted that there is less of the faithful trustworthiness found among the colored people of today. White people are always glad to accord any worthy colored person all respect, as is evidenced in the treatment of those in this town who try to merit the good opinion of their white neighbors by upright living. Aunt Jane was particularly noticeable in this respect.Date(s) of Creation
