The Cairo Messenger, Friday, August 29, 1919
Mrs. Eliza Dunlap Passed Away Last Monday Evening

Mrs. Eliza Dunlap died last Monday evening at 11:15 o'clock at the home of her 
son, J. B. Dunlap, three miles above town.  She had been in failing health for 
some time but was not considered to be in a serious condition until Monday 
morning when she suffered a stroke of paralysis.  She never spoke after the 
attack and it was realized that death was only a matter of hours.

Mrs. Dunlap was the wife of the late W. B. Dunlap, who died in 1916, and who is 
remembered by the citizens of our county as a soldier of the Confederacy who 
lost a leg in the cause of the South.  He was also at one time a candidate for 
Treasurer of Grady county, receiving a very flattering vote.

Mrs. Dunlap is survived by two brothers, J. A. Rigsby of this county and T. W. 
Rigsby of Mitchell County; also one son, J. B. Dunlap and three daughters, Mrs. 
C. C. Miller, Mrs. W. M. Prince and Mrs. Rufus Harper, all of this county. 

Mrs. Dunlap was 81 years old at the time of her death and had been a consistent 
member of the Baptist Church for more than 50 years, her membership at the time 
of her death being with the Cairo Baptist Church.  For several years she had 
been partially blind and had not attended church because of poor eyesight and 
her feeble condition in some time.

Funeral services were conducted at four o'clock by Rev. J. P. Swann with large 
group of sorrowing relatives and friends, who will sincerely mourn her loss.
