sides in this city colored woman 102
years old who has singular and in
teresting history. Her name is Mrs.
Louisa Bugg. She was born in slavery.
We're spent on a plantation, and while
quite young she was married. In some
manner, which Mrs. Bugs does not
recollect, her husband accumulated
enough money to purchase his freedom.
He then went north and by hard work
ard careful boarding of his savings,
purchased the freedom of his wife and
two little girls, paying their master the
sum of $4,000 for the liberty of the
three. Mr.. and Mrs. Bugg came to
this city in 1857, in the early history of
Clinton. They conducted a fashionable
restaurant for many years. Bugg died
thirty years ago and his wife continued
in the business for a number of years,
then retired, and since then has been
making her home with her daughter in
practical obscurity.
Just previous to the death of William
thinner, about a year ago, Clinton
county had three centenarians, altho at
