MRS. MARGARET NEALE
GOES TO HER REWARD
Beloved, Noble Woman Passes
To Eternal Rest At Home
of Son Sunday Morning

18th, 1922, at Lynwood, the home
of her son, Lewis N. Neale, pass
ed through the gates of death
into life eternal. The end came
after an illness Of three weeks.
She was born October 3, 1850,
and was united in marriage to
Mr.. 3. Howard Neale on Novem-
Der 19, 1868. Mr.. Neale died
July g, 1909. She was the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Newland
Jones, both long since deceased,
and was the eldest of four chill
dren, of whom only one survives,
NeWland Jones, Jr., of. Phoenix,
Arizona. Her elder brother,
James S. Jones, died early, after
having graduated from Yale in
the class of 1872, with the honors
of his class "a fact in which she
took much pride.
Mrs. Neale was a woman of
splendid business ability, not on
ly directing her own affairs with
wisdom, but assisting others in
meeting the problems of life. In
mind and person she was pos
Sessed Of exceptional grace and
beauty and always in her pres
ence radiated the manners and
graces that characterized the
charming woman of her genera
ton. As long as she presided
over her own home, she dispens-
ed a gracious and beautiful hos
pitality, which will ever be re-
membered with pleasure by those
who enjoyed her charm and her
housewifely skill. She was grad
uated from Madison Institute in
1868 in a class noted for the
many charming women it gave
TO this and other communities.
For many years the Alumni As
sociation of Madison Institute
was a factor in educational cir
cles and Mrs. Neale was active
in promoting its work and in ad-
vancing the interests of her Al
ma Mater. She was descended
from families distinguished in
the colonial history of Virginia,
and from the heroic men and
women who helped to found
Fort Boonesborough and Madi-
son county. She was a charter
member of the Boonesborough
Chapter D. A. r. and until re-
Gently its Treasurer, and one of
it's most active members. 1t was
largely through her efforts that
the monument W. elected on
the site of Fort Boonesborough.
Mrs. Neale was devoted to her
church of which she had been a
member since early girlhood. She
met all of the duties of life,
whether. in the home, in the
church, as a private citizen, or
rendering some public service,
with dignity and courage, there
by setting an example of duty
we'll done to all who came with
in the range of her influence.
Her interests extended not
alone tO-ler own community and
state, but throughout her own
country and to distant lands and
clmes. To her sister, Mrs. Lo-
gan, who devoted the last years
of her life to missionary work
in Korea, her letters were con-
slant source of encouragement
and strength. She often ex-
pressed her gratitude for those
precious and priceless blessings,
the home, the church, children,
relatives and friends, education,
books-things that make life
valuable and kindle hopes for
this world and the world to
come.
She leaves to mourn her de-
parture her daughter, Mrs. Mary
Neale Thompson; two sons, J. ].
and Lewis Neale; five grand
children and one great-grand-
daughter.
Her death is the occasion of
deep regret to a broad circle of
friends, both in the community
in which she lived and in thiS~and
other states. No life can be pure
in its purpose and strong in. its
strife and all life not be purer
and stronger thereby. With an
unfaltering faith she has entered
the Courts of God.
ITO Thy Beyond no fear I
give; Because Thou livest, l shall
live; | walk through Thy fair
universe with Thee, and sun me
in Thine Immortality"
The funeral will take place
afternoon at $50, from
Lynwood. DR.. H. w. Carpenter,
