The Talbotton New Era
Thursday, May 23, 1901

Died


Nancy Emily Douglas, the wife of Alfred Douglas was born the
14th of April 1855, married the 13th of January 1870, and died
the 16th of May 1901.  She was the only child of Mary Ann
Jordan, a slave, who had committed to her care the children of
her deceased mistress, and so faithfully discharged her trust
that she was ever gratefully remembered by her charge and fully
respected by her acquaintances.


The daughter was a worthy representative of such a mother and
was faithful to her every duty, loyal to her every obligation,
and a consistent member of her church in which she had
membership for more than 20 years.  For a long while she
suffered from disease, which defied the skill of physicians,
resisted the ministrations of friends, and her Christian
fortitude was her chief reliance.  


Carry Lee Leonard, the wife of Enos Leonard, is her only child.
She was laid to rest in Geneva, her old home and heartaches and
tears were in plenty around her grave.
