~MRS. GREENWOOD LEFLORE~
Wife of Famous Choctaw Chief Reached Age of 98 Years
Word reaches here from Carrollton of the death near that place of Mrs. Priscilla Donley LeFlore, widow of Greenwood LeFlore, Chief of the Choctaw tribe in antebellum days, and one of the most celebrated figures in Mississippi history.
Mrs. LeFlore was 98 years of age, and had been in splendid health up to a few days before passing away. She was the daughter of Major Donley, a distinguished citizen of Nashville, and it is doubtful if any woman in the state passed through more stirring history. She had lived for many years at Malmaison, the famous family home a few miles from Carrollton, a replica of the palace by that name at Versailles, and her remains were laid to rest yesterday in the white marble vault within sight of the residence, and by the side of her husband, and whom she had buried with his martial figure shrouded in an American flag.
