Mrs. Mary E. SPOTS.

Mrs. Mary E, SPOTS, the beloved
wife of MIR. James 9. SPOTS, died at
her home last Saturday evening,
about 6 o'clock, after an illness of
several weeks. This estimable lady,
whose maiden name was Watt,
was born IN Lynchburg, July, 1929,
and was, therefore, in the 71st. year
OF her age. Her young womanhood
was spent chiefly in Amherst and
Nelson counties. In 1853 she
moved to Lewisburg, now,
West Virginia. From West
Virginia she came to Tazewell
in 1867, where she engaged in teach
ing, and in 1869 was married to Mr..
james @. SPOTS, who still survives
her.
Her last sickness was of short
duration, but of such a serious
