Miss Grace Dryden Dies After Long
Illness.

Miss Grace Dryden Dies After Long
Illness.
Yesterday afternoon at the Hay
den sanitarium on Pierce street Miss
Grace Dryden succumbed after the
long struggle with consumption
which has made her FOR many years
an invalid Preparations were at
once made to carry her remains back
to her birthplace and old home at
Bowling Green, KY and tomorrow
morning her father j. S, Dryden will
leave to accompany the remains to
Bowling Green for the funeral.
Miss Grace Dryden was born on
June 81, 1870. she grew to woman
hood in Bowling Green and grad
uatcd from the schools Of that city.
At an early age she united with the
Baptist church and her interest In
the work Of the church never flag
ged. She became teacher in the
Sunday school Of her church when
she was but fourteen years OF age
and from that time on till her re-
moyal here several years ago she
was rarely ever absent from her Sun
day classes. After her graduation
from the Bowling Green schools she
was made a teacher in the schools
OF the city and county
Her long record in this work is
Of lasting credit to herself and to
her students.
The younger children Of the FAM
lily died at an early age and when
this daughter was fifteen her mother
died. Since that time she and her
father J, S. Dryden have never been
separated Some years ago It be-
came plain that consumption had
fastened itself upon her and since
that time the constant efforts Of the
father have been expended toward
warding off the disease. In the hope
of effecting a cure, the two came to
Amarillo about three years ago. The
change benefited the invalid mate
rally but could not overcome the
disease
Although the state Of her health
kept her from uniting actively with
interests here, Miss Dryden endeared
herself to many friends here. Until
few weeks ago, she was not con-
fined to her room but recently the
disease took a startling change for
the worse Yesterday, rallying from
semi-unconscousness she recalled to
her attendants that the day was the
fortieth anniversary OF her fathers
and mothers wedding in Kentucky.
She talked for few minutes about
her parents and then, almost with
out warning, the end came.
Her father, Mr. J. S. Dryden, Is
a newspaper man OF the old school
who numbers among his associates
and PERSONAL friends such men as
Henry Watterson and Bob Taylor.
During the time he has lived In
Amarillo he has been employed at
various times in the offices here but
his main occupation has been the
care of his daughter lie appre-
ciates deeply the kindnesses shown
him and his daughtc" during tho'~
