Hester McKINNON died in Yarmouth, N.S., Sunday, aged 106 years. She was born in slavery. Her father, William BERRY was brought as a slave to Shelburne by William LENT, one of the Loyalist settlers of that town. William became discontented and induced Mr. Lent to buy him a wife, which he did. Her name was Dinah and he paid 100 for her. Dinal married William Berry and Hester McKinnon was their daughter. She was born at Tusket in a small log cabin attached to the house in which Judge Lent lived. Although the Berry's were slaves, they were always kindly treated. Hester was a true type of her race. She was kind-hearted and lived as she died a true, honest christian woman.
