Palestine, Tex., April 10 - "Aunt" Mary Knight, one of the 
truest and best old negro mammies, and who for more than 
thirty years was a trusted servant in the home of the late 
Judge John H. Reagan, died last week, and the funeral 
occurred Thursday. "Aunt" Mary was a native of Tennessee, 
and came to Texas during the Civil War with the family of 
her master, Dr. Dechard. She had many friends among the 
white people throughout the State, who visited at Fort 
Houston, the Reagan home, and who will be sorry to hear of 
her death. At the request of Mrs. Molly Mobley, 
Superintendent Walker King of the public schools dismissed 
the colored school near her house, and the pupils attended 
the funeral in a body.
