Old-Time Darkey Dead
White People Have the Remains Properly Interred

Special to the News
Pottsboro, Tex., Aug. 28 -- Andy Rice, an old-time darkey, who has lived here for twelve years, died Friday night.  He was good friends of the white people here, and they had the body embalmed, bought him a nice casket and will bury him using a hearse.  The whites were going to bury him in the Georgetown Cemetery, but Cap. W.S. Grant gave the colored folks land to start a cemetery.

Andy Rice was formerly from McKinney and was but 55 years old.
