Death of Uncle Ben, well known Colored man

“Uncle Ben” Quinney, colored, died last night on the farm of W. Porter, after a short Illness.

“Uncle Ben” as he was known to everyone, was 81 years of age, and had been with W.C. Porter for years, coming to Texas with the late Capt. J. B. Porter 44 years ago, living with the Porter family for the greatest part of his long life. He was a native of Mooringsport,  La. 

Mr. Porter stated to a Tribune reporter today that in his opinion the aged negro was one of the amplifications of the Christian life he had ever known, and that his influence on the members of his race could hardly be estimated.

Mr. Porter went to Cartwright Swith this morning to make arrangements for the funeral, burial to be made there on the Porter farm, where Uncle Ben’s wife is buried.
