Another Land Mark Removed.

In the course of human events We
are called upon to chronicle witt
sadness the departure hence to the
spirit land of some one of cur
friends and neighbors with whom
we have been associated in one
capacity or another for long num-
Der of years.
Such an occasion is present with
us at this writing. The familiar form
of Mrs. Malinda Seay, relict of Mr..
Levi Seay, will no longer be seen Oh
earth, she having breathed her last
at the home of her son in-law, Mr..
c. A. Geiger, on Depot street, Mon
day, in the 18th year of her age. AL
though bowed down by the weight OF
years, up to the time Of her last illness
she was remarkably sprigbtly and
active. She was the daughter of the
late Mich al Hendrix, who was one
among the earliest settlers of the
county, and was a resident of this
county all her life, with the excep-
ton, perhaps Of few short intervals
after her marriage.
By her death land mark of Lex
ington las been removed and a link
which connected the old town with
the new has been broken and we are
left to mourn her departure.
She was inferred in St. Stephens
cemetery yesterday afternoon and
her remains now rest beside those
of her husband.
