Miss Mary Lela Brown, a girl of rare beauty. She was under the medium height, fair complexion, well rounded and symmetrical in form, black hair and dark brown eyes, over which her eyelashes drooped in a fascinating way. She was intelligent and accomplished, but always discontented, and said to have been crafty beyond her years.

The remains of Leola Brown, the unfortunate young suicide, were laid to rest in Fairview cemetery at 8:30 Sunday morning. The hearse was procured and
a number of carriages accompanied the remains to the cemetery. The mother, who arrived on the 1 a.m. train, took the matter very hard and was almost prostrated with grief and trouble. The deceased had been dead so long that it was considered best not to take the remains to Carthage, as had been intended.
