PRINCETON’S COLORED COOK DEAD.
PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 25.—“Aunt” Clara Voorhees, the oldest colored woman in this part of the State of New-Jersey, died yesterday in her ninety-seventh year. She was known by every graduate of Princeton College for her last sixty years. Here she had lived all her life, and from the time of President Carnahan she had always cooked the big dinners on all the big days of the college. Her name was known far and wide.
