FINISHES HER WORK AND DROPS DEAD
From the Ellaville, Ga., Enterprise

Louisa Shellin, colored, wife of Green Shellin, who lives on Mr. Barrow's 
place, a few miles northwest from this place, started on her daily duties last 
Wednesday in her usual good health.  She went to Mr. Barrow's house and washed 
for the family, finishing at midday.  After eating her dinner she started home 
with a bucket of milk that Mrs. Barrow had given her; she stopped a few 
moments and talked with Mr. and Mrs. Barrow, who were standing on their front 
porch, amd as they turned to enter the house Louisa started home.  Mr. Barrow 
had occasion to return to the porch in a few minutes after, when he saw her 
about fifty feet from his gate lying in the path across her milk bucket with 
her mouth in the sand.  They ran to her and turned her from off her face, but 
found that she was dead.  Green Shellin is a hard working and well disposed 
negro, and we sympathize with him in thsi severe loss.
