Mrs. Denny had been for many years a devoted member of the Christian church, and died in the triumph of christian faith. She was a daughter of the late Chas. R. and Penelope Ford, and sister of Messrs. T. D. Ford Jas. F. Ford and Miss Cora Ford and Mrs. O. Ranchfuss of this city, and Mrs. Sallie Watson of Pittsburg, Pa.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO FRANCES DENNY: Denny, Fannie Ford: Mrs. Fannie Ford Denny - ... "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord" was never made more impressive than in the death of Mrs. Fannie Denny, wife of Mayor T. L. Denny, who fell asleep on Saturday night, September the 12th so quietly and so peacefully that her loved ones could hardly realize that she had left them, and were totally unprepared for the grevious blow as they did not know that her condition was so serious until a few hours before her death. But that she was as perfectly prepared to meet the summons of her Saviour as one can be in this life, her family, neighbors and frends can truly testify. The funeral services were conducted by Mr. Jere Whitson, Mr. John Richardson and other members of the Christian Church of which she was a faithful member The casket was carried into the yard of her home, beneath the shade of the trees, surrounded by lovely flowers and her bereaved family and friends. Mr. Whitson was earnest appropriate, and very true. ... Her body was laid to rest in the Cookeville Cemetery by the side of her son, ...
