sweet christian lie came when the spirit
of Mrs. Minnie Mabfy took it's flight

dread disease,,which had attacked it and
the courageous soul had fought a brave
but hopeless fight with an unrelenting
foe. All that medical science. tender nurs-
ing, aud change OF climate could do was
done but without avail, and the patient
sufferer finally fell into that sleep that

wife OF the late DR.. F. T.. Mabry who
died at Shannon several years ago. She
was the daughter of Mrs. II. S. Thomas

being Miss Minnie McGaughy. Upon the
marriage of her mother to Capt. Thomas
she became one of his family and an at
tachmeut that exists between a parent
and child soon ripened between her and
her stepfather which lasted until the end
came. During her childhood and young
womanhood she had the best of oppor-
tunities and ripened into an intellectual,

Throughout her life she displayed all the
christian graces that adorn woman
hood and died beloved by everyone who
knew her.
