Mrs. H. W. Jernigan
Like a flash the news spread
rapidly from ear to ear Wednes
day, June, 14, 1916, about 2:00
o’clock p. m. of the death of Mrs.
H. W. Jernigan of this city. Un
expected as it was, everyone was
indeed shocked to hear of the
irreparable loss which our town
has suffered in the untimely
death of this good and noble
woman;
“Miss Mary” as she was famil
iarly spoken of, was born in
Independence County, Arkansas,
Feb. 28, 1878, the daughter
of Maj. C. W. and Mary
.Louisia Mcbrory. At ll:dU a. m.,
Tuesday, May, 8, 1906, she be
came the wife of Cashier H. W.
Jernigan of the Bank of McCro
ry, the ceremony being perform
ed in the Methodist Church in
this city by the Rev. A. C.
Cloyes.
We know of no one who was
ever held in higher esteem and
who was more highly respected
than the subject of this sketch.
She was truly a devoted Christ
ian mother, a loving wife and a
kind and honorable child.
The funeral services were con
ducted at the family residence
yesterday, Thursday, morning
by her pastor, Rev. S. M. Yancey
of the Methodist Church, who
paid a beautiful tribute to the
pure, Christian life of this noble
woman. His eulogy of the spot
less, ciean and Godly life of this
lady was truly appropriate and
fitting, and brought many tears
to the large number of friends
who had assembled there to pay
their last respects to one whose
place seems impossible to fill.
Mrs. Jernigan realized just be
fore the end came that she could
not survive her sufferings and
with her devoted husband and
little boy, Otis, at her side, told
them that she would have to say
goodbye. Among her last words
were those directed to Mr. Jerni
gan telling him she was ready to
go, but regretted having to leave
him and her little ones, and that
he had always been kind and
good to her.
The floral offerings were elab
orate, beautiful white lillies and
carnations, large roses and ever
greens completely covering the
snowy white casket and forming
a large bank underneath and
behind it. The Swastika Club
of which she was a member sent
one of the most beautiful offer
ings of this kind. After the ser
vices, the pall bearers, Messrs
F. Lewis, J. H. Crossett, L. L.
Cole, M. K. Wherry and R. A.
Drewery, con ^eyed the remains
to the hearse which was waiting
outside the front gate together
with 16 automobiles, and a num
uer oi utntr venicies. me lung
procession proceeded to the
Fakes cemetery where the ser

vices were concluded and the re
mains laid to rest.
Among those left to mourn
her loss are: a husband, three
children, Otis, age nine; Lou
Alice, age seven and Mary, age
three; a father, Maj. C. W. Mc
Crory, a sister, Miss Lou and two
brothers, J. C. and G. G. McCro
ry, all of this city. Among those
out of town who attended the
funeral we note: Mesdames
Harry Snapp of Augusta, Virgie
Stein of Shreveport, La., and J.
A. Torrence of Little Rock, and
Mr. Ray Robinson of Little Rock.
Dr. H. Y Swayze and Family
Leave For Texas.
Tuesday morning, Dr. H. Y.
Swayze, of Benton, with his
wife and son, Phillip, and Miss
lizzie juOvvxnan Were jGiucu in
Yazoo City by Mrs. Lizzie King
and Miss Hazel Frizelle, of
Vaughns, their destination being
Center Point, Texas.
They expect to spend one year
in the Lone Star state and hope
at *he end of that time they will
have become well and strong,
when they can again take their
places in Yazoo.
It will be impossible to fill the
places of any of this party for
each of them belong to that class
of citizenship that makes a coun
try great. Their many friends
will live in hopes that the time
will fly fast and that each one
will breathe health with every
breath in that far away Texas
land.
Many friends were at the depot
to bid them goodbye and if good
wishes could eliminate every
germ and tired feeling they
would have gone no further than
Yazoo City.
The loss of these good people
for even a year is a severe one.
No one man in the county took a
keener interest or did more to
advance the agricultural and so
cial interest of the county than
Dr. Swayze and his kindly, help
ful suggestions and substantial
cooperation in every way will be
sorely missed. Mr. R. S. Bow
man and his daughter, Miss An
nie, went as far as Jackson with
the party.—Yazoo City, (Miss)
Herald.
Dr. and Mrs. Swayze and son
Phillip have numerous friends
here who also wish that their
good health may soon be restored
and who regret their having to
move. A thing worthy of note
concerning their leaving Miss
issippi is the fact that their son,
Phillip, who was a student in the
Agricultural School was unani
mously given a diploma notwith
ending he was to
leave school two months before
the term was out. He was a
leader in his class and of the
four years spent in the school he
received only one de-merit and
that for being away attending to
his father’s business.
Give us good rock roads.
Miss Ruth Powell of Augusta
spent Sunday here.
Honorable Eck Simpson, for
mer clerk of Woodruff county,
has been filling a clerical position
in the document room of the
House for two or three months,
but has decided to return to Ark
ansas next week, and go on the
road again as a traveling man.
He thinks he will be happier
when once more upon “his native
heath,” and we can see where
he is right.—Washington notes,
in Little Rock News.
