MARY VAN LEAR GRUBB.

The following tribute was written by a
friend: "In the death of Miss Mary Van
Lear Grubb a rare soul passed out. So frail
and slight a woman, but so strong in every
way; such a loyal, true friend; such a faithful
member of church and society; so ready
with kid deeds; so full of all sweetness. I
think that one rarely finds in these days a
woman who keeps so much of the heart and
soul of a child as she. Hatred and malice
seemed never to have touched her. The
loveliness of her own heart shone out and
transfigured her to those with whom she had
to do. She has left a void in the circle of
those who knew and loved her, and an example
which surely it would be well to
emualte." Feby 11th, 1905
