	The following is a stor,r of Mrs. Susan Dale Sanders, #1 Dupree Alley, ~)etween Breckinridge and Lampton Sts., Louisville, an old Negro Slave mammy, and of her life, as she related it.

	“I lived near Taylorsville, Kentucky, in Spencer County, nearly all my life, ‘cept the last fo‘ or five Yeats l‘se been livin‘ here. I was bo‘n there in a log cabin, it was made of logs, and it was chinked with clay and rock. My Mammy, was raised from a baby by her master, Rueben Dale. He was a good oie Master, and was aiway‘s good to my Mammy. Master Dale owned a bi~ farm and had bi~ fiolds of ootn ~t tobacco, and we raised everijthing we had to eat. 01e master Dale was a good oie baptist, had lots of good oie time relig‘n. Ruben Dale had lots of slavés, and every fa~ii1y had its ~n cabin. As he raised my Mammy as a slave from a baby, she thought there was none ii‘ bett ‘r than her master Dale.

	The next fa‘m close to the Masters, was owiied by a man, Colonel Jack Lllon, and he had a big fa‘m and owned lots of slaves. And Mammy was allowed to marry one of the Allen slaves, and my father‘s name was Will Allen. You see the slaves had the same name as the Master‘s, as he owned ‘em. My Mammy had seven children and we all grow‘d up on our Master Dales fa‘m. My father had to stay at his inasterts, Col. Jack Allen‘s and wo‘k in the fields all day, but at night he would come to my mwnmy‘s cabin and stay all night, and go back
