She was owned by a family named Finney. Near the age of 40 years she was'bought by a slave-trader who brought her to South Carolina and sold her to Mr. Fred Wise, of the Dutch Fork. In this family she remained a bond-seryant until freedom from bondage left her independent to earn her own livelihood. Both as a bond and free servant she gave excellent service. Hers has been an interesting life because of her faithful service and the great number of years she dwelt here on earth. It was her earnest desire to live at peace with all. Numerous friends, white and colored, were interested in the welfare of "Aunt Maunaa." ?ier spiritual faith was steadfast to the end. She was fully prepared to meet her God and.resigned herself to His will. Her last words expressed her confidence in her God and Savior. Thus has passed into the beautiful life beyond one of whom it may be said, "She hath done what she could." She leaves 2 children, 23 grandchildren and 35 great grand children. A. J. C. Johnson.
