AFTER MANY DAYS,
A Former Slave Hears from
Her Old Home.
A Separation of Thirty Years
Having Elapsed.
A Scrap of History.
Years before the war of the rebellion,
Wm. Eli Baxter, a lawyer and planter,
lived in Hancock county, Georgia, not
far from the town of Sparta. He own-
ed [owned] 150 slaves, among the number, Fer-
aby [Feraby], a full-blood African, who was the
mother of three children, Amy, Will-
iam [William] Eli, and George, who took the sir
name of their owner, Baxter.
When Amy was ten years of age, her
young mistress married Dr. Carnell,
and received Amy as a marriage pres-
ent [present]. With her new master she lived
four years, when, her young mistress
dying, she was sold to Austin & Chism,
slave dealers, for $700, and taken by
them to Columbus, Georgia. She was
then fourteen years of age, as near as
she can recollect, and with oth-
er [other] slaves that had been purchased was
kept for two months in a slave pen,
locked up to prevent their escape, and
every day taken to the auction room in
front of the building and offered for
sale, and inspected by would-be pur-
chasers [purchasers], as horses are examined by
jockeys.
At the expiration of this time she
was sold for $900 to Hampton Smith,
of Mobile, Alabama, with whom she
lived three and a half years, and dur-
ing [during] that time was married to Alfred
Weiman, a slave of Smith's. They
were during this time on a cotton plan-
tation [plantation] in Wayne county, Miss.
They did not get along well with the
overseer, trouble ensued that resulted
in her husband trying to kill the over-
seer [overseer] with an axe. The row resulted in
both of them being sold to a slave dri-
ver [driver], the price paid for the woman being
$1,000.
They were taken to Decatur, Miss.,
and kept in a slave pen for two weeks,
when they were sold to two different
parties, but lived close together. Her
new master, Walter Nimmax, was a
merchant, and she lived with him but
six months, when she and her mistress
had some trouble that resulted in her
mistress going for her with a rawhide,
and being stood off by her slave with
an axe.
She ran away, and was secreted by
her husband for three weeks in a large
pile of cotton seed, into which she had
made a tunnel, the mouth of which
was filled up with cotton seeds. Her
husband visited her at night and fur-
nished [furnished] her food and water.
During her concealment she was
sold to David Gill for $1,100, and lived
in his family for three months. Gill
and family were piney wood white
trash, had always been poor, could
neither read or write, but by some
streak of good luck became possessed o
f some money, and to be aristocratic,
invested a portion in a slave, the first
they or their ancesters had ever owned.
She says they were poor, ignorant
white trash, and she told them she
would run away, and fearing the
threat would be carried out, she was
sold to two gamblers for $600.
These sports took her to Little Rock,
Ark., and sold her to Albert Flowers
for $1,000, with whom she staid two
months and was then sold to John
Quinlan, sheriff of Little Rock, for
$1,200.
With her new master she lived
three and a half years, and there was
an understanding between them, that
she should never be whipped, but her
owner seeing her talking to a free colored
man one day, became so incensed
that he gave her a severe whipping.
Soon after this little matinee occur
the rebellion came, and at last she
heard that northern gun boats were in
the river and would protect fugitives
who reached them. She ran away, and
by hiding during the day and traveling
at night, she at last reached, and was
taken on board the gun boat Tyler,
that was lying at Island No. 3.
The next day she was put on a trans-
port [transport] and taken to Helena, where she
was employed as cook for the officers
of Company D, 26th Iowa Infantry,
with whom she remained two weeks,
and was then employed by Lieutenant
Kirkpatrick, who took her to head-
quarters [headquarters], where she was installed as
cook for the officers of the company
commanded by Captain C. V. Gardner,
well known in the Hills, in which po-
sition [position] she remained three years, and
was at Little Rock most of the time,
and close to her old master's home.
At the close of the war she went to
Omaha, and was again married in that
city to Hannibal Morris, fifteen years
ago, with whom she is now living in
this city, arriving here in August,
1876.
In this city they are known as Mr.
and Mrs. Frenchy. During the many
years of her wanderings, thirty-five at
least, she never heard a word from
her mother or brothers, but has been
continually, for the last few years, at-
tempting [attempting] to reach them with letters, in
Texas, where she understood they had
all removed.
Two weeks ago a letter of inquiry
was sent to "Minister of the Gospel,
Sparta, Georgia," and yesterday she
received a letter from her mother. She
wrote that when she received the news,
she felt so glad that she shouted all
night.
It is to be hoped that after
so many years separation, the old slave mother
and child may be reunited again.

AFTER FORTY-FOUR YEARS
Jeff Frierson and Mary Burt Are Reunited
in Marriage.
Special Dispatch to The American.
SHELBYVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 24. --
A somewhat romantic marriage occurred
in colored circles last night. The
facts about it are these: Before the
Civil War, and in slave times, Jeff
Frierson, a slave belonging to the Friersons
of this county, and Mary Burt,
a slave belonging to Thomas Burt,
lived together as man and wife under
the old slave system of marriage. But
a few years before the Civil War Mr.
Burt sold Mary to an Arkansas man,
who took her to that State, and there
she has since resided, while Jeff still
remained here.
A few days ago, however, Mary returned
here on a visit to some of her
relatives. Soon after her arrival she
happened to meet Jeff, her one-time
husband, whom she thought was long
since dead.
At this meeting the old love was soon
revived, and the two were reunited
by legally constituted marriage bonds
last night, Dr. Stephens, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, officiating.
Both have hosts of friends among the
white people, who are glad to see them
reunited after a separation of forty-four
years.

TOM CARNAHAN, the colored member of the Lincoln police force, has been treated to a genuine surprise by the arrival of his brother from Texas, whom he has not heard from in twenty years. Before the war Tom and his brother were slave chil-dren in Arkansas and were separated by the war. Tom drifted to the north and his brother to Texas. A short time ago a letter from the latter place informed Tom that his brother was alive and well and the reunion was agreed upon and carried out.

LOST RELATIVES.
I wish to inquire for my lost relatives whom
I have not seen since I was ten years old. I
was born in Paris, Henry county Tennessee.
My father's name was Stephe Wright, and be-
longed [belonged] to Bill Wright.--my father died. My
mother's name was Goodly, sisters Evaline and
Emma, brother Nelson, nicknamed Tobe
and myself belonged to Matthew Russell.
When Matthew Russell died, mother sisters
and brothers were sold to Gofer Cox and
moved to Texas. Mrs. Russell bought me
Any information to either will be thankfully
received by Sam Russell, Searcy, Ark., White
county.
