All Gadsden was bowed in grief this morning when it was learned that Mrs. Lily Lawrence Lee, the beloved wife of Hon. Alto V. Lee, associate judge of the city court of Gadsden, had passed away.
She died last night at 11 o'clock after an illness since Friday, December 3, when she was stricken with paralysis. While it was known Mrs. Lee was desperately ill, her death was a profound shock to friends and acquaintances of the family. It will occasion widespread regret throughout the state for her family is prominently known in Alabama.
There was a brief funeral service at the residence on South Fifth street this morning at 10:30 o'clock. The remains were then shipped on the noon L. & N. train to Clayton, Ala. where the interment will take place some time tomorrow or Thursday.
Friday night, Dec. 2nd--Mrs. Lee, who had been unwell for some time, became seriously ill and she had apparently suffered a stroke of paralysis.
