The friends of “Aunt” Hattie Camp (colored) will be sorry to hear of her illness, she having been taken to the hospital on Wednesday morning to undergo a serious operation. “Aunt” Hattie has been in the home of Mr. Will Moss as servant and what the South terms “Black Mammy” for the past 14 years. She counts her friends by her acquaintances, as she has always been a help to those who were sick and a splendid nurse for babies who were entrusted to her care by many mothers of the community. She always considered it a privilege and an honor to help people in times of distress and all whom she has served in many ways are praying for a speeding recovery for her.
