SUDDEN DEATH OF OLD SERVANT—For Many Years a Faithful
Servant in Family of Judge Crovatt.
There will be genuine sorrow expressed by a
very large number of white people when they learn of the death of “Mammy Sue,”
who has been faithful servant in the family of Judge A.J. Crovatt for the past
thirty years.
Everybody knew “Mammy Sue”; she had been so identified with the
family of “her people” as to be one of them.
Born in Charleston, a slave, Susan Abbot [sic], as she was known,
was brought to St. Simons Island and was the servant of the Hazzard family
there. At the close of the war, Susan became a member of the family of Col.
C.L. Schlatter, the father of Mrs. A.J. Crovatt. After the marriage of Miss
Mary Lee Schlatter to Mr. A.J. Crovatt, “Mammy Sue” went with her young mistress
and was the nurse of three children of Judge and Mrs. Crovatt. As the widow of
a soldier in the Federal Army during the war, Mammy Sue was awarded a pension by
the government. Though her husband fought on the Federal side, Mammy Sue staid
[sic] with her “own people.”
Famous as a cook, devoted to the interests of those with whom she
had been so many years, the death of Mammy Sue removes another of the rare
ante-bellum negroes.
Her illness was of only a few hours duration; the young daughter of
the house, Mary Lee Crovatt, had gone to see the old woman at ten o’clock to
giver her a cup of tea; Mammy did not complain of being ill, and had been about
her usual duties all day yesterday. Though eighty years of age, Mammy Sue was
remarkably active, and was in full control of all her faculties. At one o’clock
another of the servants heard the old woman calling, and Miss Crovatt and her
brother went to the room in the servants house. When the door was opened, Mammy
Sue was unconscious and died with(in) a few minutes. Four children survive,
Thomas and Joseph Abbot and Eliza Cuyler, all of whom live on St. Simons.
Another son, Randolph Abbot, being in Charleston. The body will be carried to
St. Simons where it will be interred tomorrow.

ANDERSON, Albert Osgood (Capt.)

CAPT. ANDERSON, BRUNSWICK PILOT, DIED YESTERDAY
Captain Albert O. Anderson, well known and
popular pilot on the Brunswick bar and a resident of Brunswick all of his life,
died at the City Hospital early Sunday morning. He had been in a critical
condition for several days, hope having been abandoned for his recovery two days
before he passed away.
Capt. Anderson had been ill for the past several weeks, but not
until two weeks ago did his condition become serious. He was removed to the
hospital last week for an operation, and for a time it was thought it would
prove successful, but his condition later became serious and although everything
possible was done for him it was to no avail.
Born in Brunswick November 5, 1876, Capt. Anderson had spent his
entire life here, and he was well known among an unusually large number of
friends. When a mere youth he served his apprenticeship on the Brunswick bar
aboard local pilot boats, but it was many years later before he received his
license, as the number of pilots was reduced shortly after he became eligible to
receive his license. For a quarter of century [sic] he was engaged in the
mercantile business, first being associated with his father, the late W.A.O.
Anderson, and succeeding to the business after his father’s death. He received
his license as a pilot about ten years ago.
The deceased was a member of the Brunswick lodge of Elks, he had
been a member of the Knights of Pythias for more than 25 years, and during his
life he had been associated with other organizations in Brunswick. He was a
good citizen, a true friend, and his passing will cause genuine sorrow among his
large number of friends.
Capt. Anderson is survived by three sisters, Mrs. J.R. Barfield, of
Savannah; Miss Bessie Anderson, and Mrs. S.W. Baker, of this city.
Funeral services were held from the residence, 1406 Union street, at
3:30 o’clock this afternoon, conducted by Rev. Osgood F. Cook, pastor of the
First Methodist church. The First Methodist church choir sang “Jesus Savior,
Pilot Me,” and “Crossing the Bar.” Interment was in the family lot at Oak Grove
cemetery, and the impressive Elks funeral service was carried out at the
cemetery. The funeral was in charge of Mortician Edo Miller. The pallbearers
were: Capt. S.A. Brockington, Capt. Walter Brockington, Capt. Eugene Tabbott,
all pilots; Otis Calhoun, Dr. Charles Gowen and J.E. Abbott.

MRS. ANDERSON PASSES TO REST—Estimable Woman passed Away
Yesterday After a Short Illness.
The city was saddened yesterday morning by the
tidings of the death of Mrs. Lizzie Pearson Anderson, one of its best-known,
best-beloved and most prominent women.
Mrs. Anderson was stricken suddenly on New Year’s evening with
general peritonitis, her attendant physicians immediately warning the family
that there was little hope of her recovery, and for a week she has lingered at
the point of death, suffering greatly, yet bearing her affliction with Christian
patience, until the end yesterday morning, when death brought relief.
Mrs. Anderson was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.G. Osgood and has
lived in Brunswick all her life. She was married in this city to Mr. Wm. A.O.
Anderson, a prominent merchant and from the union sprang an interesting family
of children, who have become useful citizens.
A delightful wife, mother and homemaker, Mrs. Anderson was never too
busy nor too engrossed in her own and her family’s interests and cares, to take
her part in all that meant the welfare of her city or its people, nor to help
others in their need. With a happy suite and a tender word of encouraging
sympathy for friend, neighbor or for the stranger at the door, she was as a
cooling spring in the desert, and brought refreshment to many who were weak of
heart and mind and soul. In her church work particularly were her inspiring
energy, her unwearying [sic] zeal and her untiring labors most fruitful of
results; and even when on her deathbed, suffering sharp pangs of physical pain,
she sent for one of her co-laborers, and delivering up her books and papers,
charged her to continue the work she had helped to establish.
Every act of her life was in conformity to some text and she carried
out all her work with the truly beautiful humility which characterized the
earnest worker in the vineyard of the Lord.
Mrs. Anderson was very interested in the cause of temperance, and
wrote many effective articles on the subject for local and other papers. In
this, as in everything else, she served faithfully, but with modesty and
humility, asking no recognition of her efforts, but striving for the elevation
of mankind.
So, after a long life of consecrated devotion to duty, she has gone
home; gone while her days were still useful and pleasant, and before old age had
laid its withering hand upon her, to put an end to her great deeds. She has
completed and laid aside the garment of life, and put on the mantle of
immortality. With the term of human existence that God allotted her she did her
best, and made very moment county. And now she has simply gone back; for, after
all
“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;
The soul that rises with us, our life’s star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting, and cometh from afar;
Not in entire forgetfulness, nor yet in utter nakedness;
But trailing clouds of glory do we come,
From God, who is our home.”
Mrs. Anderson is survived by five children,
Messrs. A.O. and Wm. C. Anderson; Mrs. J.C. Garfield of Savannah; Miss Bessie
Anderson and Mrs. S.W. Baker of this city; and several grandchildren, and one
sister, Mrs. Cora Rowe.
To the bereaved family The News tenders a sincere personal sympathy.
The funeral will occur this afternoon at 3 o’clock from the First
Methodist church, Rev. C.A. Jackson officiating. The interment will be in Oak
Grove cemetery. The following gentlemen will act as pallbearers: Dr. D.D.
Atkinson, E.L. Stephens, J.J. Lott, B.F. Mann, Dr. H.M. Branham and W.H. Wood.

Farewell, dour friend! we meet no more!
Last night God’s angel, hovering o’er
Your weary sufferings, pitying brought
The blessed rest you longing sought.
As softly flowed the murmuring tide,
Your gentle spirit seemed to glide,
Freed from the hindering grasp of pain,
True tender hearts will miss your face,
Your quiet presence in your place,
Your patient faith that God knew best.
And as I may not hope to stand
Beside your grave, with loving hand
I leave this tribute. May your rest
Be calm and sweet upon His breast—
A compensation for the hours
Of trying anguish, when the powers
Of soul and body both were tried!
Oh, glad for you, at last to hid
Under the shadow of His wing!
At last to listen, as angels sing
Those songs of praise, so sweet and clean
Those rapturous strains you longed to hear!
Farewell, once more, beloved friend—
‘Tis hard to say it at the end
Of such long friendship as was ours.
To-day will many lovely flowers
By loving hands be entwined for you;
But no on with a love more true
Than mine will fragrant tribute lay,
Although I must be far away.

his body to his home on College street.

Mrs. J.A. Aspinwall Dead
Mrs. J.A. Aspinwall departed this life Dec. 30, 1920.
Mrs. Aspinwall was born in Appling County, Ga., about fifty-nine years
ago, although her exact age had been lost. She was married to Mr. John
Aspinwall in the year 1881, and to this union were born thirteen children,
twelve of whom survive her and mourn her loss. She united with Bethel Primitive
Baptist Church at Screven, Ga., some years ago and had lived a true Christian
life since that time.
She had been confined to her bed nearly two months and she realized that
her stay on earth was short, and said she was willing and ready to go, so we
feel sure that our loss is her eternal gain, for we believe that she is only
asleep in Jesus. But while we need her so much, we would not call her back to
this world of suffering, sorrow and affliction, and will only try to meet her
beyond this vale of tears.
May each one of you try to meet your dear mother and to follow the foot
prints of Jesus.
She leaves a host of friends besides her relatives to mourn her loss.
"Her children mourn a loving mother.
And her life companion dear;
May they comfort one another,

ILLNESS FATAL TO WILLIAM AUSTIN, 11-YEAR-OLD BOY
William Maxwell (Billie) Austin, popular
11-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Austin, who has been critically ill at the
City Hospital for the past several days, died early last night.
This popular youth was taken ill late Wednesday night at the home of
his parents on Union street. He was carried to the hospital Friday, where he
underwent an appendix operation, and his condition at once became worse,
complications developing Sunday night, and in an effort to save the life of the
little fellow a second operation was performed yesterday, but it was to no
avail, and in the afternoon it was realized he had little or no chance to
recover.
Billie, as he was affectionately known by his many little friends,
was one of the most popular students in Preparatory High school. He was in the
sixth grade and was one of the brightest as well as most conscientious scholars,
and announcements of his untimely death today cast a shadow of gloom over the
entire school, as well as the city generally.
Besides his parents the youth is survived by one sister, Virginia,
14, four aunts, Mrs. Helen Cheatham, of Atlanta; Miss Jennie Franklin, Mrs. May
Anderson and Miss Joe Franklin, of this city.
Funeral services will be held from the First Methodist church
Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. L.A.
Harrell. Interment will be in Oak Grove cemetery. Mortician Edo Miller is in
charge of arrangements.
The following boys, selected from the junior board of stewards of
the First Methodist church of which Billie was a member, will serve as
pallbearers for their little playmate: Active, Burgay Staley, Edward Manoe,
Jr., William Sheppard, Burkhart Henderson; honorary, Theodore Rogers, Joseph
Whittle, Jarvis Wood and Harley Glover.

Advertiser & Appeal; Saturday 23 October 1880; pg. 3 col. 3
We
chronicle this week the death of Mr. George W. Aymar, an old and respected
citizen of this city. For many years he has filled the position of city sexton
of Oak Grove Cemetery, officiating as such at the burial of many of our people.
This sad rite had to be done in his case by others. In his death the city has
lost a good citizen, and his family an affectionate husband and father.
