DEATH OF MRS. C. W. GARY. 

  Mrs. Lelia Brown Gary, the beloved wife of Mr. C.W. Gary, passed away at her 
home in Franklin Saturday, Sept. 14th, in the fifty-fifth year of her life. 
She had been in feeble health for several weeks, and the faithful 
ministrations of family and physicians could not avail against the final 
summons.  Mrs. Gary had been since childhood a faithful, consistent and useful 
member of the Methodist church, and in her home was a beautiful exemplar of 
the unselfish, self-sacrificing and devoted Christian wife and mother.  She 
was before her marriage, Miss Lelia Brown Haden of Fluvanna county, Va., and 
besides her grief-stricken husband, leaves four sons and two daughters; 
Hartwell H. Gary of Birmingham, Ala., C. Bernard Gary of Cave Spring, Ga., 
Julian and Walker Gary of Franklin; Mrs. G.L.H. Johnson and Mrs. G.T. 
Stephenson of Franklin.  She is also survived by her father, Mr. W.H. Haden of 
Palmyra, Va.; two brothers, Rev. Thos. H. Haden of Kobe, Japan, a missionary 
of the M.E. Church South to that country, and Mr. Curtis A. Haden of Crozet, 
Va.; one sister, Mrs. L.O. Haden of Palmyra, Va. 

  The funeral services were conducted from the Franklin Methodist church 
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the presence of a large concourse of 
friends, and we have seldom seen more profuse and beautiful floral tributes 
than were sent on this occasion by friends in attestation of the love in which 
the deceased was held in our town and community.  Rev. C.E. Blankenship 
conducted the exercises, assisted by two former pastors of the church, the 
venerable Dr. H.E. Johnson of Charlottesville, and Rev. Thos. R. Reeves, 
President of Blackstone Female Institute.  Rev. J.L. McCutcheon of the Baptist 
church and Rev. C.H. Rowland of the Christian church also participated in the 
services.  Especially touching and consoling were the talks made by Dr. 
Johnson and Mr. Reeves.  The interment followed in Poplar Spring Cemetery, the 
pall bearers being: Active, J.C. Parker, J.J. Bristow, Dr. R.H. Cobb, E.T. 
FitzGerald, J.R. Knight, W.O. Bristow, Gen. C.C. Vaughan and J.V. Boone; 
Honorary, Dr. E.A. de Bordenave, P.D. Camp, A.L. Gardner, J.D. Abbitt, G.M. 
Whitley, J.E. Moyler, Dr. W.H. Arthur and L.R. Jones.  The sincere sympathy of 
our townspeople is extended to the bereaved family and loved ones.
