| Text | Mrs. Mary (Hays) Lee died Monday night Feb. 19 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Marshal Hutchens following an illness of several days, in the age of 72 years, 5 months and 20 days. She was born near Shiloh, Tennessee in 1830. About the time of the Civil War, the family moved to this state. Her first husband whose name was Hays died at Marionville. He was a Federal Soldier. Mrs. Marshall Hutchens, Mrs. Taylor Black and Mrs. Robert Anderson's mother were children of this marriage. In later years she married Andrew W. Lee, a brother of J. R. Lee, of this city. He died several years ago and Mrs. Lee has been making her home with Mrs. Hutchens. Rev. J. T. Brattin will conduct the funeral services this afternoon (Wednesday) and the body will be laid to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery. Research Note: She was a daughter of Elias James and Charity (Mullins) Smith. In 1850 she was listed as Mary Mullins and was living in Marion Co., TN, age 10, born TN. It appears from that record that Elias Smith was her step-father and that her true name was named Mullins and not Smith. |
