The above announcement will be read with regret by the numerous friends of the deceased lady in this vicinity, were she long resided and was beloved. She was the estimable wife of the distinguished John I. Guion, who was at one time a partner of S. S. Prentiss in the practice of law. He occupied a very distinguished position in the profession and in the politics of the State. By virtue of his office of President of the Senate, he was for a short time Governor of the State. The deceased was a daughter of Honorable John Hall, formerly of Lebanon, Tennessee, and a sister of Messrs. Robert and William Hall, of Leake County, the latter of whom survives her.
