Notes for Cary Lettia McClure:
Most people regard the correct spelling of her name as "Carrie," but she signed a "get well"
card to Beatrice French as "Cary," and we shall presume she knew how to spell her own name.
From Carrie's obituary:
Mrs. French was an earnest Christian Woman, a devoted wife and mother, a loving daughter
and a loyal neighbor. She was one who will be sadly missed both in the home and in the
community in which she lived.
Besides her husband and children she leaves her grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McClure
with whom the family made their home, four brothers, and two sisters.
