The Sabine Index - Mary Jane McNeely

  10 Apr 1936 - Mrs. Mary Jane McNeely, age 64, wife of the late
W. E. McNeely, died at her home in Many Saturday, April 4, at 3:00
p.m., after a short illness.

  Mrs. McNeely was the daughter of Ludlow J. Nash and Caroline
Sibley Nash.  She was born December 24, 1871, on Toro near Sandel
where she lived until her marriage October 7, 1891.  Then she came
to Many, where she spent the remainder of her life.  Her husband,
who was clerk of court for Sabine parish for a number of years,
died in 1908.  To this union were born six children, two of whom
survive her:  Mrs. Louis Vines and W. Edward McNeely.

  She was a member of the Methodist church, the Woman's Missionary
society, the Order of Eastern Star, and the Daughters of the
Confederacy.  She was ever faithful to duty whether serving as
an officer or in the ranks.  Her whole life was characterized by
unselfish service and unswerving loyalty to church and community.
She was a good and well-loved woman and had a host of friends here
and in the surrounding country, who mourn her death.

  Funeral services were held at the Many Methodist church at 3:00
p.m. Sunday, the pastor, Rev. W. T. Gray, officiating, assisted by
Rev. J. B. Williams, interment being in the Ft. Jesup cemetery.
Active pallbearers were Jimmie Addison, W. M. Knott, O. E. Williams,
Robert Jackson, Dr. J. K. Phares, and Van Vines.

  In addition to her two children she is survived by two
grandchildren, Edward Lee and Gerald Vines; and two sisters,
Mrs. Jennie Cade of Benton, and Mrs. J. D. Stille.
