Mrs. Nannie Shealy, beloved wife of Hon. Frank W. Shealy, clerk of the circuit court, closed her eyes on earthly .scenes at about 7:15 o'olock at ber hpme here yesterday evening at the afeebf 38 years. The end was as peaceful as the close of a beautiful summer day, when daylight fades into night with increasing loveliness. Mrs. Shealy was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George 0. Shirey, of Hollow Greek, where she was married on the 8th of March, 1896. For the past several years Mrs. Shealy's health'i-.as not been good and for.the past four months she has been confined to bed, bearing her weary hours of pain with the same wonderful fortitude and gentle patience that was characteristic of her entire life. None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow a9 this. Those who have gone down into the valley of suffering and stood' for months by the side of a loved one, as hop9 after hope dropped away a9 the petals fall from a fauing flower, know that such anguish cannot find solace in the tenderest words. She who ha9 gone forth could not be supported on her solitary path by any earthly friend. The husband with a devotion few men are capable of, whose strength was given sweetly, tenderly bo this precious invalid, whose heroic Sevotion never faltered, could not regain her by the clasp of earthly love. Mrs. Shealy was a devoted member jf old Lexington Baptist church, and vas a consi stent Christian. j "While she was of a very retiring naure and found her chief happiness in ler family circle and homelife, Mrs. Shealy was one of the best known and jest loved women in Lexington couny, being as much admired'and loved >y the young people, as she wa9 by ier contemporaries, and the older )ne9. Her character was a wonderful comjination of strength and sweetness, md she was a woman who drew her riends close to her. She is survived by her husband, her jarents, Mr. and Mrs. George 0. Shi:ey, two brothers, Clarence and Scott Jhirey, three sisters, Mrs. J. Ansel 2aughman, Mrs. Rebecca Koon and tfrs. Dr. 0. C. Holley, of Summit, . 5a.; and one adopted daughter, Miss iattie Shealy, of Lexington. The burial will take place at Old Lexington Baptist church, seventeen niles from Lexington, tomorrow at 11 j'clock, the Rev. E. J. Sox, of Little Hountaiu, and the Rev. E. L.
