The Lumpkin Independent, May 26, 1922, Friday
     An Aged Lady Passed Away Saturday
  The death of Mrs. Mary Jane Scribner, beloved old Stewart County citizen 
occurred at the home of her daughter Mrs. J. A. Wood here about 2 0'clock 
Saturday afternoon.
  Mrs. Scribner has made her home in Brooklyn with another daughter Mrs. C. A. 
Stephens the larger portion of her later life, but much of her life was spent 
here where she was revered for her relationship to one of Lumpkin most 
appreciated families as much as for her own sweet and gentle characteristics.  
She was eighty-eight years of age and had been subject to weakening attacks for 
several months.  Between these attacks she was remarkably bright, cheerful and 
active. 
  With the exception of twelve years in Columbus, Ga Mrs. Scribner had lived 
the greater portion of her life in Stewart County.  She had been married three 
times, each of these companions and three children preceded her in death.  She 
had been a widow for several years before her demise.  During the four-score 
and eight years of her life she has witnessed much in the South's changing 
history.  She lived in Columbus when the last battle of the Civil War was 
fought there and came through the troublous days of reconstruction while 
rearing her children.
  Two daughters survive her.  They are Mrs. J. A. Wood of this city and Mrs. C. 
A. Stephens of Brooklyn.  She is also survived by grandchildren, great 
grandchildren and one great great grandchildren.  She was an old and consistent 
member of the Baptist Church.
  Funeral services were conducted in the presence of a large concourse of 
friends  by Rev. John W. Faulkner, pastor of Lumpkin Baptist Church.  Interment 
was made in Lumpkin Methodist Cemetery Sunday morning at 10 0'clock.
  Out of town attendants were Mrs. C. A. Stephens, Mr. & Mrs. Gordon Stephens 
of Brooklyn.
  Pallbearers were:  Messrs-- J. V. Castleberry, J. T. Holder, J. T. HUmber,  
E. E. Humber,  W. W. Lewis and E. C. Hobbs.
