			MRS. CAROLINA LEE

Died at North Lewisville, Saturday morning, Feb. 21st, 1920, at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. John N. McKay, Mrs. Carolina Lee, at the age of 86 years and five
months, of pneumonia. Thus another link is broken in the chain, which binds the
present to the past. Mrs. Lee was the oldest resident in this community. She
was born in Tipton, Tennessee, but moved with her parents to North Lewisville
when she was six years old, and has spent her life at the place she was living
when she passed away. She was married to Mr. A. N. Lee in 1856, was the mother
of ten children, four of whom survive her - Sam and Dr. A. G. Lee of Patmos
and Texarkana. Mrs. Kelso of Texarkana, and Mrs. J. N. McKay, with whom she
made her home. She had sixteen grand children and three great grand children.

She was a life long devoted member of the Episcopal Church; was gentle, kind
and loving, always abounding in good works, and a devotee at the shrine of
charity. She had served day and generation well and was ripe for the harvest,
and to such person death has no terrors. She has left the shifting scenes of
earth, its fleeting joys and clinging sorrows and entered the inheritance
promised His children.

The writer shrinks from the poor attempt to say anything worthy the virtues of
the beloved dead. Her death at such a venerable age is the perfect rounding of
a beautiful Christian life.

She was laid to rest in the family cemetery Sunday morning in presence of a host
of friends and loved ones. Amid the sympathy of friends and relatives passes
the comforting assurance in their sorrow of her eternal glory.	M.A.
