The Fulton County news. (McConnellsburg, Pa.): October 12, 1899
Solomon Slaughter, the well known old colored man was found dead in his bed on
Wednesday morning. He had been on the street apparently in his usual health the day
before. Sol had for many years driven the bus for Lashley and later for Hixon. He
seemed to like the job and kept at it until he became too weak and old to continue
the work. As the bus was going along Spring street the day before he died, Sol
stopped and looked at it till it passed him. The writer remarked to Jeff that Sol
was thinking of his old driving days. His steady look of interest seemed to talk,
but said nothing. That night Sol was at his long home.
He was born in Virginia and was a slave until the war. He escaped to the North
during the war and for many years resided in McConnellsburg. From 1886 to the date
of his death he resided in Everett. He was a quiet, well-behaved citizen against
whom no harm has ever been charged. Poor old Sol! Farewell.- Everett Press.
