White Men as Pall Bearers at Uncle Ben’s Funeral
An aged Black man known as Uncle Ben died yesterday and asked to be buried by white pallbearers. Eight leading citizens were named, and the funeral proceeded with white men bearing the casket. He had voted Democratic since the war and was ostracized by his race for it. The article also refutes a recent interview alleging Col Morton would be Angusta postmaster, calling the claim baseless.
