Text Miss Tennie Mary McCary daughter of the late Hon. Henry and Mrs. Jane A. McCary, died at the old McCary home, 4 miles Southwest of this city. Tuesday morning, Sept 2, 1913, of paralysis and was 66 years old.

Miss Tennie was born on the farm where she lived and died, in February, 1847, and was among our oldest citizens. She was highly respected by all of her acquaintances. She was of a retired disposition and remained at home, looking after her domestic affairs, where she and her sister Miss Nannie, Thos. B. and John McCary all made their home, hardly ever leaving home and it was her pleasure to do so. She was a good citizen and was a believer in the religion of Jesus Christ.

Rev. J. W. Ennis of near this city, conducted funeral services at her late home Wednesday afternoon, where a large number of old time residents and friends had assembled to pay the last respect to a good woman, after which the remains were laid to rest in the McCary family Cemetery.

All her brothers and sisters were present at her funeral, excepting Mrs. Jane Mitchell of Long beach, Cal. Asbury McCary was in Oklahoma, and Eschot McKinney took a copy of last weeks Democrat to him, showing him of the serious sickness of his sister and he immediately left for the old home, where he arrived in time for the funeral.
