Norfolk Virginian January 1, 1893

Mattie Dryden Gale, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. D. Gale, died at 
the family residence, 79 Cumberland street, at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, of 
typhoid fever.  "Little Mattie," as she was affectionately called by all who 
knew her, was a lovely child.  Her sweet face, always lighted with a smile, was 
an index of her joyous heart.  She was full of sunshine and happiness and 
scattered her joy wherever she went.
The youngest of the children, she had, and held the tenderest affections of 
parents and brother and sister, and gave back interest to each and all the love 
that was lavished upon her.  In the wide circle of friends she was a universal 
favorite.
Very early in life she gave her heart to God and assumed the vows of the Church, 
which she kept with scrupulous care and in her conduct at home and among her 
friends she adorned the professions she had made.
The funeral will take place from Granby Street M.E. Church Monday at 1 o'clock.
