Mrs. James C. Lee
Mrs. Nancy H. Lee died at her home,
near Long creek, on Monday, May 20th. She had been in declining
health for the last two years, and since the death of her husband,
James C. Lee, about two months ago, had been failing rapidly. She
was born on September 18, 1824 and was in her eighty-third
year. She had been a member of the Methodist church from her
girlhood and at the time of her death held her membership with the
Laurel Springs church. She lived a consistent Christian. Mrs. Lee,
whoe maiden name was Gassaway, was a native of Oconee county, and
was married to Mr. Lee in Tennessee in the year 1846. To this union
were born ten children, five of whom survive, among them being John
Wesley Lee, of Walhalla. The remains were interred in the old
Phillips burying ground on Tuesday afternoon. Funeral services were
conducted at the grave by Rev. D. F. Carter. We sympathize with the
bereaved in their sorrow. (Keowee Courier - May 22,
