Description
AI transcription:
Hannah Johnson, the old colored lady known as “Black Hannah,” the fortune teller, who has occupied a house on J. Chadwick’s farm for many years—probably forty—after a few weeks illness, died yesterday morning. Her age was not positively known, but she is believed to have approached ninety years. Mr. Chadwick provided medical attendance for her, and also buried her. For years there was scarcely a man, woman or child, in all this section of country, that had not known or heard of “Black Hannah,” who is now to be known no more forever.
