The beautiful life of Miss Mary
b. Harrison passed out yesterday aft
ernoon about three o'clock, tracing a
deep furrow of sadness upon the
hearts of both young and old. She
had been in i'll health for more than
a year with Bright's disease, but was
confined to her bed only about two
weeks. Skilled physicians and
trained nurses gave freely Of their
advice and help, but her malady
was beyond the power of human aid,

of labor.

other brother, Mr.Allie Harrison; her
nephew, Hon. Blewett Lee, and wife,

and in truth, ever faithful to all serv-
ice so long as her health would per-
init. She was prominent member of
the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy and served at one time as state
president. For several years she
has served as president of the local
chapter U. d. c. Some time ago she
resigned as president of the local
chapter, but the members refused to
accept her resignation and elected her
president for life. Her zeal and pat
riotism, together with her efficiency,
made her especially fitted for this
work. She was always present when
pnssible AZ tha coafelerate Veterans
annual reunions and her interest ir
the organization never Jagged, but
she gave freely of her time and means
to the cause.
She was a member Of the ID. A. R.
the u. d. c. and the Ladies Reading
Circle. She was dearly loved by all
and her sweet life was a benedictior
to all who came under her enobline
influence.
