Three COlOred People Dead


Three cOlored people wellknown To
the citizens of this town have died dur
ing the past week. They We're Char
lotte Burbage, Shadarack Rowley and
'Togus." The first was probably the
best known colored woman in the town.
For many years she conducted an oyster
saloon here, which was patronizcd ex-
clusively by the white people" for
whom she claimed she kept it, and
when their patronage failed Aunt
Charlotte" as she was Familiarity called,
closed her saloon and retired from bust
ness. She has since lived quietly at her
home where she died Sunday. Her
funeral was solemnized Tuesday after
noon, and was largely attended by
colored people.
The second, Shadarach Rowley. was
the colorcd man who was found at the
home of Prof. T. II. Spence near town
with hands, feet and legs frozen just
after the storm of two weeks ago and
taken 10 the Aims House Tor proper care
and treatment. 1t was not supposed. on
account of his age, AT the time of his
being found i'll such pitiable condition
that he would recover, and all efforts to
restore him failed and he died ut the
Aims House Sunday.
"Togus," the only name by which the
third was known to Us or anyone that
we have asked, was sailor and had
had varied experiences at sea. Several
years ago he was reported to have been
knocked overheard and killed az sea by
a flying hoom, but he turned up in good
health a few months later and has since
been ION deck" He was taken with
pneumonia two weeks ago and died on
Monday.
