The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, April 13, 1878 April 13, 1878
"Uncle Vince" SMITH and "Aunt Courtney", are two of the most respectable, honest
and hardworking colored people in the vicinity, living three miles south-east of
town. Mike SAUNDERS, son of the old lady by a former husband, is a worthless
young buck, lately married, who, though living on the kindness  of the old
folks, took it into into wooly pate, to give them a beating, last Tuesday, and
so used up the old gentleman that he was scarcely able to walk--drew a gun on
him, and ordered both of them off the place. The offices are after the scamp,
who fled before they got there, and it is to be hoped he will be caught and
punished.
