Miss Jennie Lee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Lee, both deceased, died this morning at 7 o’clock at the home of Mr. Jeff Mangum, in this city, in the eighteenth year of her age and will be buried in Cedarvale Cemetery tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock.
This sad death, although looked for many months, came as a shock to the many friends of the young lady. For a long time Miss Lee has suffered from that dreaded disease, consumption, and all that could be done for her proved fruitless.
Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Lee, are both dead. She leaves several sisters and brothers.
Decedent was a consecrated Christian and bore the ravages of her affliction with true Christian stoicism and fortitude, never murmuring against her trials or the sure fate which she knew awaited her. Her’s was a life of suffering, of sadness and illness, but Death, the alleviator of all earthly pain, has borne her to an eternity of triumphal glory and happiness.
The Tribune joins the many friends and relatives in the profoundest sympathy in their sad bereavement.
