  Death of Mrs. Maria Molson
  
       Mrs. Maria Molson, an aged and much respected colored lady died Friday 
  night 7:30 o'clock at the residence of her son-in-law Mr. E. B. Molson, on 
  Water street, after an illness of two years.  Her funeral took place on Monday; 
  services being held at the house at 2 o'clock and interment in Highland 
  cemetery.  Mrs. Molson was aged 66 years and 9 months.  She had been a resident 
  of this city for 45 years, and in the days before the war of the rebellion her 
  house was a refuge for runaway slaves who were fleeing to Canada to escape from 
  bondage.  As many as seventeen runaway slaves have been concealed in her house 
  at one time, and she has often related how she dressed the wounded backs of the 
  refugees who were suffering from whippings received only a few days before they 
  made their escape from their cruel masters.
