eminently respectable colored woman and
OF distinguished parentage on the pattern
al side, was laid il her last resting place
yesterday. She was alleged to have been
a daughter OF one Of Nirgnias greatest
statesmen, who was once President Of the
United States. Celia James was a quad
room, and ut the time Of her death was
about seventy-tWo years of age. Her
mother was slave, mulatress OF much
beauty and great dignity of character.
Celia came to New Orleans with the fam
lily by whom she was owned in 1888. Her
husband and children came with her
Her husband, very worthy colored man,
died in 1856. Her children and grand
children are living in this city and it is
said show in a very marked degree the
eminent source from which they descend
ed. Celia, until the day OF her death,
kept up communication with some of the
most eminent families of Virginia.
