MISSOURI STATE E W
Docksry,. Tender Heart.

Afva Gentry, a young white woman,
was sent to the ~penitentiary from
Maryville, Nodaway county, Novem-
Der 30 of last year, to serve a term Of
two years for grand larceny, to
which she entered a plea of guilty In
the trial court. She knowingly re-
eeived stolen goods, taken by a rela-
tive, who has since fed to Oklahoma
and has successfully eluded the off,
GERS. She was a young wife when
she went to the prison, and two
months after crossing its portals she
gave birth to a daughter. The little
me was tenderly cared for and won
its way into the hearts of the prison
attendants and all the inmates of tSs
female department. Mrs. E. J. Mack
ey, matron of this department, placed
the matter before Gov. Dockery, in
ducing him to exercise executive
clemency, and the young woman has
been pardoned. In issuing the par
don Gov. Dockery makes the follow
ing Endorsement thereon:
"This unfortunate woman was in a
delicate condition at the time Of her
reception at the pe~nitentiary, and
very shortly thereafter gave birth to
a child, a girl, who is now almost a
year old. In my opinion, this woman
should be released without delay. The
p%enitentiary is not a proper place for
the care and education of children.
For the sake of the child, therefore,
II for no other reason, the mother is
hereby pardoned. Issue Immediately"

Born in St. Louis.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Mrs. Grant,
whose maiden name was Julia Dent,
was born in st. Louis in 1926, and
was the daughter of Frederick and
Ellen Wrenshall Dent. She was mar
ried to general, then Capt. Grant, in
184S. During the civil war Mrs. Grant
was with the general much of the
time and remained as near as posi-
BILE to him when he was campaigning.
She saw her husband twice inaugur-
ated as president and accompanied
him on his journey around the world.
AS mistress of the White House she
gave literally to all the institutions
of the city. Four children were born
TO Gen. and Mrs. Grant, three sons and
n daughter, all of whom are living,
Miss Nellie, the daughter, who became
the wife of Algernon Sartoris in 1874,
has lived in Washington with her
mother for several years. Frederick
Dent Grant, the oldest son, is in the
army, and two other sons, Jesse ano
Ulysses Sherman, live at San Diego
Cal.
During recent years, since Gen
Grants death, Mrs. Grant has spent
most of her winters in this city, liv-
ing at Pill @ street, while during the
summer she usually lived at Sara
toga, Manchester-by-the-Sea and 9TH
er popular resorts, until the last two
summers when she resided with he
daughter, Mrs. Sartoris, at Coburg,
Ont. She also made, several visits to
her sons in California during the last
few years. She was of domestic TEN
permanent and devoted most of her
time to her home and children. She
cared little for society and always
avoided public notice as much as pos
sible. Her devotion to her husband
was remarkable, and during the lat
ter's unsuccessful years before the
civil war, and when his fortune was
swept away shortly before his death,
Mrs. Grant always bore herself brave
ly and was an inspiration to him. For
several years Mrs. Grant had been SO
feeble that it was impossible for her
to accept social engagements. She
suffered from rheumatism and was
compelled to walk with a cane or
with the assistance of an attendant.
She was 76 years of age at the time
Of her death.
