Daughter of Sam and Nancy (Insall) Welcome
"Aunt Joe" Baitey [sic.], one of the oldtime slavery black mammies of the south, of whom there are so few now living, and who ever proved themselves worth their weight in gold, died Saturday and the funeral was held the following day. The funeral was largely attended, and much sorrow was expressed by both whites and blacks over the death of this good old woman.

"think the correct spelling of this memorial is Baity. My comment is based on the many other family members of that name in the same cemetery, as well as the obit in the Weimar newspaper article, which is also misspelled."
