DEVALL, MACIE, MISS - Again it becomes the sad duty of the Gazette editor to

chronicle the death of one who was near and dear to him, Miss Macie Devall, of

Mt. Vernon, has died at the home of her cousin, Mrs. J.M. Holman, in

Pittsburg, yesterday morning. Miss Devall had been afflicted for a number of

years and had been practically an invalid for quite awhile. An operation held

out a small ray of hope for the restoration of health and happiness, but the

ravages of her affliction had so weakened her constitution that she could not

rally from the shock and her worn spirit took it flight. Miss Devall was the

youngest child of Dr. Devall and wife who made their home here and who both

died in this city. Her remains were laid to rest in the (Sulphur Springs) City

cemetery beside her father and her sister, Mrs. Willie Westbrook. Eld C.C.

Clingman, of Mt. Vernon, conducted the funeral service. She graduated with

high honors at Grayson College, Whitewright, and later taught school there and

elsewhere. (S.S. Gazette, Fri., Jan. 31, 1908)
