"Aunt" Nettie Myles is just another old-time ex-slave. She was the chattel of Mr. Stacker Howard, an Alabama planter, for whom she entertains the kindest memories.
She had been married once, but never had a child. Today, in her old age, bed-ridden and probably in her last illness, she is nursed and cared for by other members of her race. Her nearest living relative, so far as she knows, is a sister, Sallie George, aged about 85, now living on Baldwin Street, in Girard, Alabama.
