Miss McCary Dead ______ Died at  her  Home  Southwest  of  Cassville  of
Paralysis--Was 66 Years Old _______ Miss Tennie Mary McCary daughter  of
the late Hon. Henry and Mrs. Jane A. McCary,  died  at  the  old  McCary
home, 4 miles Southwest of this city. Tuesday morning, Sept 2, 1913,  of
paralysis and was 66 years old.

Miss Tennie was born on the farm where she lived and died, in  February,
1847, and was among our oldest citizens. She was highly respected by all
of her acquaintances. She was of a retired disposition and  remained  at
home, looking after her domestic affairs, where she and her sister  Miss
Nannie, Thos. B. and John  McCary  all  made  their  home,  hardly  ever
leaving home and it was her pleasure to do so. She was  a  good  citizen
and was a believer in the religion of Jesus Christ.

Rev. J.W. Ennis of near this city, conducted  funeral  services  at  her
late home  Wednesday  afternoon,  where  a  large  number  of  old  time
residents and friends had assembled to pay the last respect  to  a  good
woman, after which the remains were laid to rest in  the  McCary  family
Cemetery.

All her brothers and sisters were present at her funeral, excepting Mrs.
Jane Mitchell of Long beach, Cal. Asbury McCary  was  in  Oklahoma,  and
Eschot McKinney took a copy of last weeks Democrat to him,  showing  him
of the serious sickness of his sister and he immediately  left  for  the
old home, where he arrived in time for the funeral.
