MARY CAROLINE LEIGH

   Mrs. Mary Caroline Leigh, wife of the late Richard Leigh and daughter of 
the late Louis and Mrs. Caroline Bryant Thorpe, died at her home in Richmond 
Saturday, October 27.  Having been in failing health for years and recently 
growing more feeble her death was not a surprise to friends and loved ones. 
She is survived by one daughter, Miss Elizabeth Leigh of Richmond, who has 
been her constant companion and devoted nurse since the death of an older 
daughter, Mary*, many years ago.

   Mrs. Leigh is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Nannie Fiers and a brother, 
T.W. Thorpe, besides a number of nieces and nephews and other family 
connections in this county, where she was born and reared and spent all of her 
early life.

   Funeral services were held in Richmond Monday with burial in Hollywood** 
Cemetery.
