Mrs. Mary Lee, widow of the late Edward Lee, passed away Thursday morning at five minutes before three o’clock at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Ed Grue, 947 Southern avenue. Mrs Lee had been ailing for the past several months, and her death resulted from a general decline due to her advanced age.

The deceased was born in Kings county, Ireland, 77 years ago, and came to this country when a young woman. She has been a resident of this city for many years. She was a devout member of the Catholic church during her lifetime, and died with all the consolations of her religion.
