Colored Woman Almost Frozen in Bramwell Virginia
In Bramwell W Va Sunday Mrs H S P Creasey found Aunt Ellen Elkins in a fireless room and nearly frozen. The elderly woman died Sunday night after a long illness rooted in poverty and neglect. Ellen, over 80, relocated from eastern Virginia and left behind a daughter in Philadelphia. The town’s churches and clubs hold services and plan Christmas seal sales to aid the needy. Contributions from local children funded ten Thanksgiving baskets with flour meat sugar coffee and canned goods distributed by Mrs W J Irchard and Mrs J F Thornton.
