Miss., Oct. 14th 1884, Mrs. Elzy Elizabeth Lee, wife of A. J. Lee Sr., a well known citizen of Kemper. Mrs. Lee was born Aug. 15th 1822 and joined the Baptist church, June 1842, of which she was a zealous and faithful member till the time of her death. She was well and favorably known to a large circle of friends who deeply mourn the loss of their kind friend and neighbor. She was a lady of unflinching integrity, boldly standing up for what she believed to be right and bitterly opposing what she knew to be wrong. She has left a large family of children and grandchildren and an aged husband who have been made sad and deeply feel the loss of the faithful wife and devoted mother. She was indeed, and in truth a mother to her children, kind and affectionate in health and when sickness came she was ever present to administer to them with her ready hands and cheerful voice. She loved her children with that love peculiar to her sex. She was a faithful, affectionate and patient wife to her husband, who cherishes with fond recolection (sic) the memory of her many virtues and good deeds while she lived. We offer our condolence to the bereaved family and express a hope and desire that when life's last wave shall have swept them from the vast category of the living, they may meet the faithful wife and devoted mother beyond the river in the home of the blessed.
