OBIT:
Miranda Anne Lee, whose maiden name was Long, was born in Hartsville, this county in September 1839. Her parents were David and Nancy Long. She was the youngest of five children and the only daughter.
She was united in marriage to Howard Lee in June 1863. To them were born two sons, the first, Thomas who died when about ten years of age, and the second Edward, lived to be a young man of twenty six years, when death called him from her.
Her parents were members of the Christian Church having joined when first organized in the county and continued stead fast members until they died.
Besides a husband, Mrs. Lee leaves two brothers living, Ara Long, of Washington, D.C. and D. F. Long of this city, two having preceded her to the grave.
There can today be found tenderly stowed away in the home she considered so sacred, the little garments and play things of her children which speak eloquently of her untiring devotion and sympathetic love for them, from whose death she never seemed to recover, but around whose memory she incessantly lingered. She was ideally domestic giving her time to the cultivation of the beautiful flowers that today fill her casket.
