\u201cFAST PASSING AWAY: Death of Daniel Lewis, a Highly Respected Colored Man\u201d
\u201c\u2018Uncle\u2019 Daniel Lewis, an old and highly respected colored man, died at \u201cMt. Pleasant\u201d on Hardware River on Tuesday morning, says the Scottsville Enterprise. \u2018Uncle Daniel\u2019 was probably 80 years old and was one of the \u2018Old Timers,\u2019 the like of which are fast passing away. He belonged to the late L. B. Barksdale and after slavery was abolished, preferred to remain with his \u2018old Marster,\u2019 which he did up to the time that \u2018Mt. Pleasants\u2019 was bought by the late William Dorrier. Even then he did not have to give up his old home, as Mr. Dorrier let him remain, taking care of him and allowing him to do about as he pleased. The time is drawing very close when all of these faithful old servants will have passed away.\u201d
