DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN.

Napoleonville. - Marion Corbin, a colored woman, living on the Elm Hall 
plantation, died last week at the advanced age of 110 years and seven 
months.
 
She was born May 10, 1791 in the state of Maryland.  She was undoubtedly the 
oldest person on Bayou Lafourche.  She remembered General Jackson and could 
relate things which happened ninety years ago.  Since the last fifteen years 
she had not been able to work, but was always in good health and walked 
around freely.  She was buried at the colored Baptist Cemetery.
