Charlotte News 12-23-1905
Mrs. Virginia Sloan Mayes, wife of Mr. D.W. Mayes, of Huntersville, died this 
morning at 10 o'clock after an illness of about two weeks.  While the funeral 
arrangements have not been perfected, it is thought that the interment will 
take place tomorrow afternoon.  The news of the death of Mrs. Mayes will be 
learned of with sincere regret all over the county.  She was a most estimable 
woman and had a wide circle of friends and relatives in Mecklenburg.  Mrs. 
Mayes, before marriage was Miss Virginia Sloan.  She was a sister of Mrs. J.Y. 
Weddington of this city as was a frequent visitor to Charlotte. The death of a 
daughter, Miss Daisy Mayes, which occurred nearly a year ago, was a great 
shock to Mrs. Mayes, the effects of which she never entirely recovered.  About 
two weeks ago, she was stricken with something akin to pleurisy and her 
condition grew rapidly worse.  Death came this morning as a sweet relief from 
suffering.  The deceased was about 55 years old and is survived by a husband 
and several children.  The sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended to 
those who have be so sorely afflicted.
