Death of a Former Slave.
Mrs. Dennis Peebles, an esteemed
colored lady, died here last evening
at 5:30 o'clock, from lung trouble.
Mrs. Peebles has quite a history.
Before the war, she was owned in
the family of Governor Wise, of Vir-
ginia, where she served as a faithful
slave. After the emancipation proc-
lamation she came north, and was
later united in marriage to Mr. Pee-
bles, a native of Vermont, and a
plucky soldier of the union army.
The couple has resided in Menasha
many years. The exact age of Mrs.
Peebles is not known, but she was
about sixty. By her death her daught-
er Jennie and the husband are left
alone. The funeral will be held from
the house tomorrow at one o'clock.
The Rev. W. W. Warner will officiate.
