An Old Couple who Bought Themselves Out
of Slavery Twice Over.

An Old Couple Who Bought Themselves Out
of Slavery Twice Over.
Hawkinsville Ga Dispatch.
Old aunt Jenny Mathis, or aunt "Ginny"
Buck, as she WAS called by everybody, q good
old colored woman, we'll known to the citizens
OF Hawkinsville and vicinity, died at her home
in this place on Wednesday last, aged about
seventy-6ve years. Aunt Jenny's history is q
remarkable one. She was born a slave, and was
owned in her young dayo by aplanter in Wilkin-
son county. By working in her leisure mo-
ments, and saving every penny she earned she
accumulated enough to purchase her freedom
about 1887. She kept . restaurant or hotel
here, and was literally patronized by the white
citizens. Many prominent citizens boarded
with her, and hers was the leading, and, in fact,
the only hotel in Hawkinsville fifty years ago.
Aunt Jenny's husband, known as old Uncle
Buck, assisted his master, q MI. Mathis, around
his store, and saved some money, and, with the
assistance of Aunt Jenny, who sold cakes. ETC.,
in addition to carrying on her restaurant, they
were enabled, in a few years, to pur-
chase Uncle Bucks freedom, paying about
81. 500 in gold. About the time they bought
themselves a law was enacted by the
Georgia Legislature prohibiting the buying Of
slaves by themselves. The former owner Of
Aunt Jenny and Uncle Buck turned over a bill
of sale to them to q gentleman named McCombs,
who went to Macon and died there very sud-
denly. The bill of sale was found among his eff.
fects, with no explanation. and through some
process Oh law Uncle BUCK ana Aunt Jennie
were again put into slavery. For several years
they worked as slaves, and at length secured
money enough and again bought their freedom,
paying between $1,000 and IS. 600 the second
time.
In tho meantime their son Sam was born to
them, and he was sold off and carried To Louis
ana. After buying themselves tho second time
Aunt Jenny and her husband went to Louisiana
and tried to buy Sam, but his owner refused to
sell him. They then moved to Ohio, and lived
