DrArH.-The death Of Mrs. Susan T.
Finnie, announced last week, had been ex-
pecied by her friends who watched for
many weeks beside her couch Of pain. The
funeral services were conducted on Friday
from the residence Of her son-in-law, G. w.
Dunlap, Jr. to the Lancaster Cemetery,

deceased was the daughter Of the Rev. u,
W. Johnston, Of the Methodist Church, and
was born in Breckinridge county, Ky. She
married Mr.. John G.. Finnie, also Ken
tuckian, in ls4s, and settled in Memphis,
where her husband in time rose to the head
Of the legal profession. OF her Eve children

turned in her extremity for the care so
grateful to the afflicted. During the chol-
era Of 1873 in this place, Mr.. Finnie died
here while on a visit to his daughter, and

mother sleep their last sleep side by side in
tins little Kentucky village, 70 remote from

Der of the Presbyterian oh urch, and died
in the fullest triumphs Of her faith. Her
maternal devotion was rarely equalied;

ment led her to seek the quiet walks of
life, yet her personal and intellectual en-
dowments were far above the ordinary, and
would have shone pre-eminent in any cir
Gle She was 81 years Of age.

meet an appointment but once in his life
lie proved a most devoted husband to his
two wives, one Of whom was the mother Of

children in Madison county, and to them
II IL believed that the bulk Of his property
is bequeathed. lie requested that there
should be no ostehtaiion al his funeral; no
plumes on the hearse, no flowers, no mu-
sic. lie was faithful and jealous Odd
