William Nelson, an old negro who had been employed as a field hand on the Lemann 
Company's Peytavin plantation for upwards of twenty years, died suddenly yesterday 
morning while at work in the field with a gang of laborers. The end came to the 
old negro while he was astride one of the mules of a team hitched to a plow, and 
so quietly did he pass away that his fellow workmen did not know he had expired 
until the plow reached the end of the row and the venerable driver made no effort 
to turn his team.
