Finishes Her Work and Drops Dead

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 give her, she stopped a few moments 
to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Barrow, who were standing on their front porch, and as 
they turned to enter the house Louisa started on 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 Shelling is a hard working and well disposed negro, and we 
sympathize with him in this severe loss. – Ellaville Enterprise



Additional Comments:
Note from transcriber: The last name appears in this article spelled two 
different ways.  I'm not a researcher of this family and don't know the correct 
spelling.
