Old Mansion Hospitality and a Senator's Household
An aging mansion once hosted a charming young hostess during Senator Frelinghuysen’s era. Daughters ran the house weekly, hosting lunches and receptions that set standards in hospitality. The Belles of the Kitchen formed from their cookery marvels, while Miss Cameron later presided as the Senator’s daughter and wife. In Georgia a negro was found dead after stealing chickens, a church leader’s sermon raised questions about the soul’s fate given a brief moment of repentance before the fall.
