ION the 18th of May, 1896, at a ripe old
age. there deed at the home of Mrs. John

able servant, Malvina Rochelle. Wnlie
never owned by our father, Captain CHS
by, she had lived in our family for twen-
ty-five years.
"Her wonderful industry, her great
love. and loyalty to us, and her honora-
Bile principles comma nded the respect OF
every white person in our community,
and many of them share our grief at
her death. Coming to us when | was
little child 1t seems as though dear, good
MIME" as we called her, could not nave
claimed any other white children than
those of our family. Our hearts are now
sorely bereaved in parting with this true
and faithful servant. Truth and honesty
were uppermost in every act or her Hfe,
and so filled was her heart with sweet
charity that now as l sit / hear every

ucated language. There hangs in MEM
ory's hall of each of her white children

God.
REST, MIME, DEAR in Heaven God
has placed upon your brow the crown of
stars, and we whom you left behind will
teach our children the pure, touching
prayers that so often fell from your lips.
