Mrs. M. E. Douglass
A Good Woman Passes to a Rich Reward
Mrs. Mary Estes Douglass, widow of that well known and highly respected citizen Cullen E. Douglass, passed away just before noon last Friday. Mrs. Douglass had been in feeble health for a long time, and for about a week before her death had been seriously sick, but on the morning of the day on which she died she ate with relish and expressed herself as feeling much better than for days past. Shortly thereafter she was taken worse and expired in a few hours.
The deceased, who was Miss Mary Estes before her marriage, was born near Goodlettsville, in Davidson County, August 15, 1836. In 1863 she was married to Cullen E. Douglass, being his second wife. Eight children blessed to this union, all save one survive her, they being Robert E. and J. G. Douglass of Wilson County, Hon. Will Douglass, a member of the Texas Legislature, and Dave Douglass, assistant cashier of a bank at Granberry, Texas, and Misses Mary and Irene Douglass of this county. In 1856 Mrs. Douglass joined the Methodist Church, but after her marriage united with the Presbyterians.
She was a consecrated Christian woman, loved by her acquaintances for her kindness and gentle disposition. Her home life was truly beautiful to those who knew her in her home, and her own children do not sorrow more in her death than do the several step children she had raised. Surely there could be no better testimony to her splendid virtues than this.
The funeral services took place at the Douglass home Monday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. R. S. Burwell coming from Georgia to preach the funeral. The interment took place at the Douglass Family Burying Grounds, Mrs. Douglass' sons, by her request, serving as the pall-bearers.
