Long before the days of Birmingham,
when her birthplace. jefferson county,
was less famous there lived on Village
creek very remarkable man. Mr. VIII
hanson Hawkins. His farm extended
from Sayreton to West End, including
what is now Thomas. East Thomas and
Shady Side, his acreage went up into the
thousands. This plantation was the BIRTH
place of many of the founders of Biz
mingham. and today his great grand
children. among them Mr. James Haw-
kins, Mr.. Gus Pope Mr.. A. o. Lindsay
and Mrs. Frank stephens and others are
active in the affairs of the wonderful
city that sprung upon the soil he had so
nobly titled. The old family burial
ground. as was a former custom. stands
near the old homestead site and there
are inferred the anteeedents of very
useful and influential generation of to-
day.
Mr.. Hawkins lived to a good old age,
SIS years, and died in 1915. at what is West
End. with his son. Nathaniel, where on
Tuscaloosa avenue and Hawkins street
stood a colonial home known as the
Hawkins place, 1t was burned u few
years ago. Today the tall oaks shade 4
modern cottage. The remains of Mr..
Hawkins rest at Thomas. Before his
death he sold that part of his estate in
Guiding what is East Thomas and Thomas
to Mr.. Sam Thomas. who moved to this
section from Pennsylvania in the early
seventies and built the early furnaces
in the district. These furnaces We're
named for Mr.. Thomas later were sold
10 Henry DeBardeleben and the property
is now that of the Republic Iron and
Steel company. And a pretty well kept
neighborhood it is Comfortable houses
for the employees, a beautiful school
house and church. Mr.. Alexander has
been a caretaken for the district, kind
OF q deputy for 2S years. he knows every
body for miles around and is interested
In all the happenings in the community.
Now we went to Thomas to call on a
bride--and this bride is far past fair,
fat and forty" She is remarkable old
slave who has reached the age of Jos,
some say 112. AT this age she has recently
married. Aun Chloe Hawkins, and she
married another old slave of the same
family, though he claims the name of
Evy Brown, and is 81 years old. Every
body who has ever lived in the south and
known the plantation days and heard the
old time nanny tell of dem days
loves to hear of those old times again,
and so we went out to see this remnant
OF a wonderful past, to hear from her
own tongue the story of her life.
We'll. Aunt Chloe, we heard you had
gotten married and we came out to see
If the old man was treating you right,
and to have YOU tell us the secret of
living so long. How old are you really?'
Il can't think how old l is, it's been so
long ago. My nanny and daddy dey
brought me and six other chillun from
Marietta, Ca, here and how come we to
come was this: My old marster was a
niger trader and he done got in debt,
SO he stole us down here and Mr.. Haw-
kins he den bought us and we stayed on
till now. l is de only one left. My
daddy name Fred, was nigh so years old
when he died and he and all the rest is
over yonder, buried by the white folks

to town every other day wild my wagon,
see my horse? and hauls slop.''
AS we looked at the horse there came
to our mind a true scene witnessed this
fall right at the Ridgeley corner. A
drayman had stopped his wagon and
there fell a horse, in short while it
was dead. Hubert Kenny was having his
dancing class in the apartment and a
number of automobiles with their chauf-
feurs were waiting The crowd gathered
and one of the chauffeurs turned to
leave; he met another anxious to see
why the horse had died. 81 tell you,
that horse saw grain of corn and it
skeered him to death" This horse of
Evy's had very much the same symp-
toms. But contentment was very evil
dent. Aunt Chloe has an eye to bust
ness and has rented one of her rooms,
SO she will never be left alone. Her room
is well carpeted and clean and neat. She
takes great pride in her quilts. which
she made herself, and she cooks on the
fireplace, but she says, faint much that
I eat" We took her picture and that of
her home, but failed to catch that of the
six young pups-and these were another
source of revenue for Uncle Evy. We
climbed the fence and bade them good
by and received a cordial invitation to
come again 81 like white folks, they
have always been good to me, and that's
why | am here now Come back the
first of June and 1 will save white
puppy for you"
We are glad we went. These old relics
of a historic past are fast being layeS
away. In a few years we can only point
to the mounds that cover the faithful
colored friends who shouldered the strug-
giles of the mothers of the south and
rocked the cradles of the grandparents
of today
No people save those who We're of us
will ever understand the ties that bound
together the faithful slaves and their
masters. History can never tell there
was a loyalty and faithfulness in their
service the one to and for the other that
can never live again. This sentiment has
been handed down to q few of the
colored race. They have listened to the
tales of their mammys, of old marster' s
folks and they love the memories-only
few have blotted out the stories of a
wonderful past.
'Tis sweet to have known a "mammy's"
care,
To have heard her songs and rhyme;
To have seen her live her simple life,
And felt her love our own.
No more those days of freedom
For mother in her home,
The good old soul that used to be-
Is worn out now and gone.
Time has hushed her lullabys
That sang us all to sleep,
But memory calls them back again,
And stops the world to weep.
