Dropped Dead
Chancy Sceals, an aged colored woman who for many years was employed as 
a domestic in the family of Mr. A.J. Keller as cook, dropped dead in Mr. 
Keller's yard yesterday evening. On account of illness she had not been 
working for some months past. She lived near Mr. Keller's home and 
being without wood had gone over to borrow some and was in the act of 
picking up a stick of wood when she fell dead. She was removed to her 
home and her remains were taken in charge by a colored benevolent 
society of which she was a member. The society will bury her today in 
the colored cemetery on Young's Bayou.
