We make this extract from IN obit-
aary notice in the last issue of the
Iberville South:
A notable old colored woman died
on the Clements plantation, in this
parish, on Sunday last. Her name
was Nelly Parker. She was born at
Mount Vernon, and at her death was
about SIS years old. She was the lam
dress of the late Mrs. E. g. w. Butler.
Nelly's mother was the laundress of
Mrs. Buffers mother, Mrs. Lewis of
Woodlawn, and her grandmother was
laundress of Mrs. Washington of Mount
YernoB. Nelly was the last of the
- old Washington stock in this par
ish, and like all the servants of that
illustrious family, prided herself upon
her descent.
