Remarkable Old Couple on Furlow Plantation Georgia
In FL Hawkins's Furlow plantation in this county lives Artemus Tooker and his wife Narvissia, an exceptionally admired elderly Black couple. Art is eighty, Narvissia nearly six, both well known among local Black residents. Narvissia weighs about 420 pounds in stockings, while Artemus weighs under 100. Narvissia milks cows and makes butter, earning praise for her work. Since a nearby road project, she once tried to ride a coach but the door was too small, so she rode in an open flatcar. She attends church weekly in a small wagon, travels the plantation with pride, and dreams of resting on Mars.
