A Centennarian

From Mr. J.P. Simpson, of Paschal, who was in town Tuesday we learned of the 
death of an old negro woman, old aunt Tracy Hill, which occurred in the upper 
part of the county one day last week.  The old woman lived in Talbot County, 
but wandered away from the house where she had been staying into this county 
where she was found dead on the roadside and it is the opinion of our informant 
that she died from old age, as she was over one hundred years old.  She had 
frequently informed Mr. Simpson that she distinctly remembered when General 
George Washington visited Augusta, that she was then a house girl and she had 
the honor of washing Lady Washington’s feet.
