MAMIE MAckErs DEAR WILLIE
Awhile Man Named Arthur schermer'
HON is Said to Have Married Her.

There seemed to be some, little
doubt about the nationality of the
gentleman, who made himself con-
spicuous few weeks ago in atfectionate
demonstrations toward Mamie Mack
ey, buxom negress of 300 pounds
ayoirdupois, at the B. 20. depot, a
full account of which appeared in the
Telegram at the time. However, we
arenow able to say positively, aswe
didbefore, that the man is whiteand
further we have his name. 1t none
other than Arthur Schermerhom. 1t
takes no photographer to determine
that the name is Hebrew and we
were right in our statement that he
was of Jewish extraction.
An intimation was made that this
strange romance might have more than
the Introductory chapter so startling.
That second chapter is ready for
dramatization, and is dramatic, in
deed, without the touches of an artist,
not so much in the scene enacted on
the stage as behind the curtains. 1t
bears as much significance as the first
as it but follows the first with
emphasis.
To make a long story short, suffice
it to say that Schermerhom visited
our city again last week and was,
evidently, on another strange errand.
He and Lou Mackey, the aged mother,
of his colored paramour, appeared
together at the B. 4 o. depot Friday
evening and left on No. II east at 5;4s
O'Clock. Schermerhom bought mile
age through to New York for him
self and ticket to Grafton for the
colored woman. He checked all their
baggage to New York also.
The story is told here that since
their sensational exodus from this
place, Mamie Mackey, colored, and
Arthur Schermerhom, whom she ad-
dressed as 'sDear Willie" have been
married. 1t Is stated further that
they had that idea here but that he
was informed that the laws of the
state forbid miscegenation and to
execute their plans would be to incur
trouble.
ofcourse, if it be true that their
hearts now beat as one, there would
be nothing passing strange in his
coming again and taking his mother
in-law home with him. The incident,
however, If it be true, and there
seems but little doubt about the
inter.marriage Of the races in this
instance, is something altogether new
in this neck o. the woods.

REMINlscENcEs
OF Mrs. lane Ritienhouss Ogden, the
wife Of R. Sylvester Ogden.

-. =
This eStimable woman departed this
life FEBRUARY y, 1900, at the family
residence IN this city, on the 10th an
niversary OF her marriage and in her
59th year.
Mrs. ogden was born on Tenmiie
creek, this county, Jan. 2, 1872. and
descended from early, pioneer stock
Bennett Rittenhouse, her father, and
Zilpha Shinn RIttenhouse, her mother.
Her father, a large, prosperous farmer
and useful citizen, of Hollander ex-
traction, came from PENNSYLVANIA
many years ago. He was grand
nephew of the distinguished David
RittenhOuse, the astronomer and
philosopher, OF Philadelphia, who be-
came so popular that the City OF
Brotherly Love named one OF its
squares In his honor, which yet bears
the name OF Rittenhouse- Parker
square. Mrs. Ogden's mother was the
daughter of Clement Shfnn, also a
highly, reputable, useful citizen. He
was cousin of Rev. Asa Shinn, one
of the most eminent diyines in his day
in this part of Virginia: his published
sermons attest his learning and abili-
ty.
Over thirty-tive years ago Mrs. Og-
den Believed and was Baptized"
Joined the Baptist church, and from
thence to the time of her death led a
pious, Christian life of purity and be-
nevolence; her hand was ever extend
ed in charity whenever opportunity
offered: she was model, faithful and
devoted wife, friend and mother.
1t has been rarely observed that the
good influence and teaching of fond
mother has been SO manlfestly i'm
pressed upon surviving children as in
this instance.
A well known, prominent gentleman
OF this city receiyeda letter this week
from an absent son, who made the fol-
low reference to Mrs. ogden's death
"The announcement ofthe death OF
dear Aunt Jane Ogden has filled my
heart withprofound sorrow. Asa child
know hor better than any of my
fond mothers brothers or sisters, and
hence was more attached to her than
to them. Her devotion to my dear la
mented mother naturally inclined my
heart to her. She was, indeed, a good
Christian woman, wife and mother,
and her death has but crowned well
spent, pure life, fifty preparing her to
enter into the joys of the Lord"
BY her death the church has lost
one of its most conspicuous adherents,
and society faithful, true member,
who was widely known and generally
beloved. Mr.. ogden and children have
the profound coincidence Of the entire
community for the irreparable loss
they have sustained in the death of a
loving wife and mother.
