' Mrs. Mattie Leary Dies in a Norfolk Hospital. Elizabeth City, N C , Nov. J, Mrs. Mattic Leary, one of the most loved and best known wo men in Eastern North Carolina, died Saturday afternoon itr Sarah Leigh hospital, in Norfolk where she underwent an operation ten days ago The body was taken to Edenton Saturday night and the funeral services were conduct ed Monday in the Episcopal church in that town by Rev. C A. Ashby of Elizabeth City. The body was laid by tie side of that of her husband in the . JUpts- -V.-V .V'-t.--... ; .-. . jiv?,,,c-v-i..,7 "'--'v. "i"'-''-' ' copal cemetery. She was 60 years old and is survived ly one daughter, Miss. Minnie Leary. She survived her husband, Dr Thomas Leary, about 23 years. Mrs. Leary, before her mar riage, was Miss Martha Saunders, daughter of Dr. L K. Saunders. She was Dorn ana reared in Elizabeth City and resided here until her marriage. After her marriage to Dr. Leary of Eden ton she made her home in that town. Upon his death she re- turned to Elizabeth City and has lived here since. She was a devout member of Christ church of Elizabeth City. While she had only one child of her own. she "mothered" the orphaned family of the late W W. Griffin. She was only their cousin, but the children lovingly called her "auntie' and looked to her as if she had been their own mother. She spent the past 20 years, of her life in active church and charity work, and in doing good to all with whom she came in contact The announcement of her death Saturday afternoon came as a great shock to the people o Elizabeth City. Only members of the family and a few friends knew that she was ill and very few people knew that she"was in a hospital. Her condition after the - operation- was apparently satisfactory until Saturday morn ing, when she. rapidly grew worse and expired in a few hours VAPOR TREAOTT FOR COLD TROUBLES Are now used in all hospitals.
