Description
-
Hansel, a freed man living in Athens, Georgia, was stabbed and killed by an enslaved man owned by Mrs. Golding.
Partial Transcript: "In later years Hansel, a free negro, kept a cake shop behind Huggins' old store on Jackson street, and inaugurated the delivery system with a small cart and pony. There linger still toothsome recollections of his ginger cakes, so slick on top, and tea cakes sprinkled over with sugar. Hansel was stabbed in 1855 by a negro belonging to Mrs. Golding and instantly killed."
