The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-05-07

woman, who long since went to her re- ward at the feet of the Great Teacher. Like the Holy Virgin, whose name she bore, Miss Canalan was modest and mild, gentle, yet firm. gifted and generous. She taught the rudiments of education, al the same time infusing the love of up- rightness and honesty into the minds and hearts of her pupils. She was an excep. tional woman. and in her daily walk and conversation knew neither class nor creed living and loving, teaching and at the same time living the pure life she urged the child and the youth to lead.
 Tn thus perpetuating to future posterlty the memory of Mary Cahalan the people of Birmingham have paid long overdue debt of gratitude to one of the grandest women in our beloved state"
