Mrs. Nannie Shealy
Has Passed Away.
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
