Mary, wife of the late Perry Veazey, a former slave in the family of United States Senator David Davis in this county, died of old age on Wednesday, at the alms house in Wilmington, Del., after an illness of only two or three days' duration.  Her funeral took place from the alms house at 11 a. m. yesterday; interment in E. Zion cemetry, Front and Union streets.  At the request of ex-Senator Davis the funeral arrangements were made by W. C. R. Colquoun.  Mrs.Veazey as well as her deceased husband were once slaves at the Davis homestead in this town, and for many years the ex-senator had been paying for their support.  He boarded Mrs. Veazey at the alms house, paid her husband's funeral expenses and will also pay hers.

Many of our readers will remember Perry Veazy, a colored man, a slave, the property of Mrs. Mitchell, now Mrs. W. Wirt, of this town, and who lived here with his owner until about 1862.  Perry was a protégé of Judge David Davis, acting Vice President of the United States, they having been boys together, the one a master the other a slave, and the Judge has ever taken a lively interest in him.  Up to the time of his death, which occurred last week, Perry has been a resident of McDowellville, near Wilmington, occupying No. 104 Ford street, a house erected for him by Judge Davis, who has always exercised care over him, amply providing for his wants, and keeping him in comfort.  Perry Veazy was born in 1824 and was consequently about 58 years of age when he died.  He was the child of slave parents who were the property of a gentleman named Mercer, who was an uncle to the boy who afterwards became Judge Davis.  Mr. Mercer died and the widow in the meantime married Mr. Wirt, who removed to this town in 1851, and Perry being the property of Mrs. Wirt, removed with them.  In 1862 the rebellion having commenced in right earnest Perry left this town and went to Wilmington, but his mistress never made any attempt to capture him or to induce him to return.  Perry was taken sick last December with a tumor on the stomach and the Judge was notified of his sickness, since which time he has been very solicitions for Perry’s welfare and authorized friends to attend to all his wants.  Last Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock he was buried from his residence in the Zion Cemetery on the Lancaster Pike.  The funeral services were held in Moore’s chapel near Perry’s residence and the church was crowded.
