Mrs. Janie Cleghorn McCrory Passes Away 			
			
Mrs. Janie Cleghorn McCrory	beloved wife of Judge J.
Lee McCrory	passed away to her eternal resting place
from her home on East Indiana Avenue	at one o'clock
Tuesday morning [14 Mar 1922] after suffering a
several weeks illness of double pneunonia. The
deceased was in her 65th year having been born in
Alabama	the daughter of a minister who was of
scottish descent	his birthplace being Glasgow
Scotland and her mother a native of Alabama. She was
united in matrimony to J. Lee McCrory in April 1873
at Ellaville Ga. where they resided until coming to
New Smyrna about 30 years ago. From there	they moved
to DeLand in 1900 when Judge McCrory assumed the
judgeship of this county and they have made this
their permanent home ever since. The deceased was
the finest type of Christian southern womanhood
having been a member of church ever since childhood
and was ever active in all branches of the First
Methodist Episcopal Church South	of this city of
which she was a member and in every worthy outside
cause which was for the benefit and uplift of her
townspeople	both white and colored. For years she
was president of the W.C.T.U.	and had resigned only
recently that some younger person might grow up with
the work. In taking her to her heavenly home	a
flower has been taken from our midst which can never
be replaced but the memory of her good deeds and
Christian life will be an ever constant inspiration
to her loved ones and friends. The deceased is
survived by her husband	Judge J. Lee McCrory	two
sisters	Mrs. C. C. Kiker of Oglethorpe	Ga.	and Mrs.
M. I. McCrory of Jacksonville; one brother	Mr. A. J.
Cleghorn	of Jessup	Ga.	who was with her in her last
illness two nieces	Mrs. J. E. Mickler of this city
and Mrs. Janie McCrory Andrews of Miami	and five
nephews	Messrs. C. M.	Linton and Forestus Strange of
Miami	and Messrs. Seaborn McCrory of West Palm Beach
and H. P. McCrory of Smithville	Ga. The sympathy of
the entire community is extended to this family in
their bereavement and to the husband who is
seriously ill at his home with pneumonia. Funeral
services will be held at the First Methodist
Episcopal Church	South	early Wednesday afternoon and
interment will be made in the family cemetery at
Ellaville	Ga.	the remains being accompanied by the
deceased's brother	Mr. A. J. Cleghorn.			

Mrs. L. A. Proctor	of Tallahassee	a sister of Rev.
J. E. Mickler	came to DeLand Wednesday morning to
attend the McCrory funeral.			


Note: Janie C. McCrory	born 6 Oct 1852	and her
husband	J. Lee McCrory	are buried in Ellaville
Cemetery near the northwest corner.
