OLD COLORED NURSE
BURIED AT SH0CK0E
Remains Of Judy Jones, Said to
Be a Centenarian, Laid to Rest
in a Family Section.

Judy Jones, one of the last of the old
colored mammies, died at the nome OF
DR.. J. Hall Moore last week and was
buried from there yesterday afternoon:
She was in many respects one OF the
most remarkable of her race that ever
lived in the city. She was born on the
estate of DR.. James Jones, of Nottoway,
who was for some time member OF
Congress, and otherwise most prominent
citizen He was greatly interested in the
early African colonization movement, and
offered her her freedom, but she declined.
AS a young woman, she nursed the older
children of the late Rev. DR.. w. S. =Wh1te,
was then hired to the late John q. James,
of this city, as nurse, coming 10 Rlch-
mond over sixty years ago.
Mr.. James offered to buy her and Offer
ed a good price for her, but DR.. Jones
said that, owing to her age, he would only
take practically a nominal sum, and
stipulated that should it become neces-
sary she should be returned to his family.
She nursed all of Mr.. James children and
remained with that family until some
years after the war between the States,
when she began to pine for young chill
dren to take care of, and on the recon-
mendation of one of the James family,
entered the service of Dr. Moore and
raised, as she said, all of his children.
sAAAN
could induce her to leave one of her
charges when it was sick. She had been
known to remain by the bedside OF al
i'll child for two weeks almost constantly,
refusing to take any rest and only sleep
ing in snatches in a sitting position.
There was no time when she would not
have fought to the death for child IN
her charge or for any member OF any
of the families she had served. There
is no written record of her age available,
but there in no question that she had
passed the century mark. She was the
oldest member of the First Presbyterian
Church, but some years ago, thinking she
could help to build up the colored Pres
byterian Church here, she connected her
self with that congregation.
The funeral services at the home were
conducted by Rev. DR.. Kerr, assisted by
Rev. Parker the colored Presbyterian
minister, and were attended by number
of her white friends, including former
elders of the Presbyterian Church. The
only colored persons present, besides the
colored minister, were three old women
of her type.
It was the desire Of DR.. Moore, and
IN this all who knew Nanny Judy sym.
pathized, that she should be buried IN his
family section at Shockoe Hill Gene
terry, and this was done, DR.. Kerr con-
Quoting the commitment service. and the
pall.bear ers being DR.. J. Hall Moore, DR.

order that the interment might take
place there, 1t was ncssary that a permit
be gotten, as in some previous cases OF
the sort, from the Council Committee or
Shockoe Hill Cemetery. The committee
was called together in special session anc
the matter being fully presented to them
they readily granted it.

Especial Dispatch to The Times,

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 9-Repre-
sentative Shailenberger. of Nebraska, has
introduced a resolution in the House
asking for detailed report to the dis
charge Of Miss Rebecca ]. Taylor, a
War Department clerk. who was dis
missed from the government sevice be-
cause she wrote several letters to local
paper, which that paper published criti-
cising the policy of the Roosevelt admin
istration. Mr.. shallenberger, who is a
member Of the House Committee on Re-
form in the Civil Service. introduced the
resolution at the request of a number of
his Democratic friends in the House. It
is the hope Of the Democrats to show
that in thus summarily dismissing a
clerk, the department has violated the
civil service regulations
There is a great deal of comment on
the case in Washington. and some sur
prise is being expressed that even Roose-
welt. who has upset all precedents and
who strives so continually to be law
unto himself, should have acted in SO
high handed a manner. The opinion has
been expressed that if Teddy continues
to treat his critics in so harsh manner,
freedom of speech will soon be abolished
and lese majestic added to the list of
crimes in this country.
The name OF our dignifed President,
who journeys to Arlington Cemetery on
Memorial Day and makes political
stump speech over the graves of Union
soldiers during the course of which he
goes out of the way to throw mud at the
descendants of those who are responsible
for the graves, must be kept sacred at
any cost, and his acts, and acts of his
party. must not be criticised. AS strong an
advocate Of civil service reform as he
pretends to be. he does not hesitate
to break its rules when it suits his con-
venience
Miss Taylor obtained employment in the
War Department at the outbreak of the
war with Spain, when a large force of
temporary clerks was put on. This force
was reduced from time to time but in
January all who We're left on the tenn
porary roll were blanketed under the
classified service.
