Reunion After Separation During Slavery Days
Special to The Inquirer.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., March 21.— Mrs. Louisa Fry, an aged colored woman of Pleasantville, has just found her mother, whom she has not seen since the slaves on a plantation near Charlottesburg, Va., were liberated at the close of the Civil War. The mother of Mrs. Fry claims to be 106 years old. Mrs. Fry is past 60, but both women are said to have recognized each other at once when they met a short time ago in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Fry is an industrious, hardworking woman and comes to Atlantic City daily to do housework. It was while working at a home in Atlantic City that she first learned of an old colored woman in Philadelphia, who claimed to come from the same Virginia village in which Mrs. Fry was born. More with a desire to talk over old times with a townswoman than from any hope of seeing her mother again, Mrs. Fry went to Philadelphia and sought out "Aunty" Strong, who proved to be the parent whom she had not seen since the close of the war.
