Whereas, It has pleased the Supreme Dictator of
the universe, to afflict with death the family of our
esteemed Bro. R. D. Duval, therefore be it
Resolved, That we hereby tender the said
brother our sincere condolence in his affliction and remind
him that fortitude in adversity exemplifies one of the
virtues and benefits of our noble order.
A terrible case of brutality has been exhibited
by a colored woman of this city—Mary Lindsay. She
gave birth to an illegitimate child Sunday last, and in the
absence of her mother, wrapped the new-born child in her
skirt and placed it under the springs, and left it there
till Tuesday morning. When the mother was making up the
bed, to her horror, she discovered the child. The officers
were called and Tuesday night an inquest was held. The
coroner’s jury brought in a verdict of murder in the first
degree. A guard was placed at the house and as soon s she
is able will be lodged in the county jail.
This is most a atrocious case of infanticide
and nothing can save the girl from severe punishment who
partly through fear of her mother and no doubt ignorance,
committed this crime.
(His marker in Anna City Cemetery reads:
Cornwall Kirkpatrick Died March 30, 1890, Aged
75 Ys., 3 Ms. & 7 Ds.—Darrel Dexter)
