Former Slave Dies in Marion
 
BUENA VISTA, Ga., Dec. 11
 
Flora Hollis, 103-year-old Negro died at her home in Buena Vista last week.
 
"Aunt Flora" was a former slave, having been born in Marion county on the 
plantation of Thomas Harvey in 1847.  Her mother cooked for the Harvey 
household prior to 1860.  She has been ill and physically incapacitated from 
doing any work for about a year, prior to which she was active in doing her 
housework.
 
"Aunt Flora" nursed the late Mrs. Mollie F. Short, mother of Mrs. R. P. 
Stevens of Buena Vista, when Mrs. Short was a baby, some 80 years ago.  She 
was honored and respected by all who knew her.
