Old Georgia woman recalls slavery and freedom at 104
A corroded story recalls Hannah Owens Negron who just celebrated her 114th birthday near Agency 211. Born in Georgia before the war she says she was married in 1829 and her mother told her she was twenty eight on her wedding day. She remembers rolling logs hoeing cotton and being fed well under slavery, though she longs for news of relatives. Other elderly Black residents share brief memories as a correspondent notes countless Negrons across the South rise from ignorance to property and schooling despite illiteracy, while Panama Canal waters grow increasingly salty.
