Mary died from Typhoid Fever.
From "The Arkansas Methodist" November 7, 1900
Greenway --Mrs. Mary I. Greenway was born August 28, 1876. She was married to Mr. C. S. Greenway March 29, 1900 in Dancyville, TN at 12 o'clock noon and they left immediately for their new home in Booneville, Ark. Soon after their arrival they presented letters of church and league membership and thus became identified with us.
Seldom do we find any one so helpful to a community as she proved to be.
In Sunday School, league and church her sweet face and winning way were a constant inspiration.
Whether working with the young people in the league or the older ones in the missionary and aid societies, she manifested the same willing and unselfish spirit, which Christ commanded of his children. Her gentleness and thoughtfulness were best seen in the sick room where she was constantly found. She was pretty, bright and attractive, a general favorite of every one with whom she came in contact.
The host of friends that she had made in only six months time bespeak her rare merit. Her last illness was one of a month's duration and during that time numbers flocked to her bedside to render to her the kindnesses with which she had befriended them in time of need.
She felt from the first that she might not recover, but she was ready to meet her Savior.
She passed quietly away at 2 o'clock on the morning of the 29th of September and was buried in the Booneville Cemetery at 4 the next day. While her spirit has taken its flight from this world of sorrows, her life, as an example of unselfishness and usefulness, is still with us and the fruit that it bears can only be measured in eternity.
