AUNT ’ SELINA AT THE SPRING

Page 84 text:

“Hunt” ikltna “Aunt” Selina is one of the few links left to connect the present with antebellum slavery days. She is a typical, old Southern “mammy,” who did not think slavery an unmixed evil. Though now about 90 years old, her mind goes back to those old days, and many are the stories she is fond of telling about “de good ole times.” For several years “Aunt” Selina has been janitress of the North View High School, and she takes pride in her position. She has become a fix- ture of the school. Every morning “Aunt” Selina may be seen wending her way from her cabin on the hill, to the spring, or through the woodland to the school to begin her duties. Bent with years, carrying a heavy hickory stick, wear- ing heavy brogan shoes, her appear- ance is known to all in the neighbor- hood. And yet she has still a keen eye and is noted for her strength. Even her name is almost unknown; she is “Aunt” Selina to everybody. When asked about her age she replied, “ ’Deed, marse, I doan know ; folks didn’t tell niggers dere ages in dem days. I done belong to Marse Bragg.” But by circumstances she related it is known that she is nearly 90 years old. Her passing will be regretted by many who have known her long and well. AUNT SELINA
