Beloved Woman.

 Mrs. Nina Deaderick Glenn, 72, 814 Carolina Avenue, widow of former Governor 
R.B. Glenn, passed away yesterday at noon at a local hospital following an

the various missionary circles. She was one of the organizers of the first 
benevolent societies of the city.

possibly knew her better than anyone 4else, says the following about Mrs. 
Glenn"
 "She was always deeply interested in the intellectual advancement of the 
community. Her home was always open to all religious conventions and ministers 
of all denominations at the same time adding greatly to the pleasure of her 
loved ones and friends socially. True Christian hospitality reigned supreme.
 She adherred to the simple tastes of life - her home, family, church and 
friends were the center of her heart's desire and sacred interest."

D.E. Hoffman of Mt. Airy; one brother, T.O. Deaderick of Weaverville; three 
grandchildren, Chalmers L. Glenn, Jr., of this city, Nina Glenn Hoffamn and
