Mrs. Carolina Lee, Lafayette Co. Arkansas

Died

At North Lewisville, Saturday morning, Feb. 21st, 1920,at the home of 
Mr. And Mrs. John N. McKay, Mrs. Carolina Lee, at the age of 86 years 
and five months, of pneumonia.  Thus another link is broken in the chain, 
which binds the present to the past.  Mrs. Lee was the oldest resident 
in this community. She was born in Tipton, Tennessee, but moved with her 
parents to North Lewisville when she was six years old, and has spent 
her life at the place she was living when she passed away.  She was married 
to Mr. A. N. Lee in 1856, was the mother of ten children, four of whom 
survive her-Sam and Dr. A. G. Lee of Patmos and Texarkana.  Mrs. Kelso of 
Texarkana, and Mrs. J. N. McKay, with whom she made her home.  She had 
sixteen grand children and three great grand children.  

She was a life long devoted member of the Episcopal Church; was gentle, 
kind and loving, always abounding in good works, and a devotee at the 
shrine of charity.  She had served day and generation well and was ripe for 
the harvest, and to such person death has no terrors.  She has left the 
shifting scenes of earth, its fleeting joys and clinging sorrows and entered 
the inheritance promised His children.

The writer shrinks from the poor attempt to say anything worthy the virtues 
of the beloved dead.  Her death at such a venerable age is the perfect rounding 
of a beautiful Christian life.  

She was laid to rest in the family cemetery Sunday morning in presence of a 
host of friends and loved ones.  Amid the sympathy of friends and relatives 
passes the comforting assurance in their sorrow of her eternal glory.          
M.A.
