Mrs. M. E. Mangum Dies.
Mrs. M. E. Mangum died at Tunica yesterday. Her son, William M. Ball, well known cotton man in this city, was the first to receive word of her death. Mrs. Mangum is survived by three sons, W. M. Ball, M. A. and E. P. Mangum. She is also survived by four daughters, Mrs. Sallie Alexander of Tunica, Mrs. J. L. Robinson of She!by, Mrs. K. P. Parks, of Yazoo City, and Mrs. W. W. Moore, of Queensboro, Ala. Mrs. Mangum was born 1840. The funeral will take place this morning at Tunica at 11 o'clock.
The above notice from the Commercial Appeal brings sorrow to many hearts in Yazoo City and county, where Mrs. Mangum was reared and has many relatives and friends who held her friendship and love clear. Mrs. Mangum was the eldest daughter of Mr. Leve King, who before the Avar was one of the wealthiest and most influential farmers of the eastern part of the county. Mrs. Mangum received her early education in her own home, which was the custom of the Old South, and when ready for college she was sent to the celebrated school of Miss Tevis, where many of the best and most aristocratic families of the South placed their girls, that the foundations which had been so well laid in the home could be built upon, giving to the world many of the most accomplished women of the South, and Mrs. Mangum was among the number.
When young she was happily married to Mr. Ball, of Kentucky, who after a few years of happiness, went to a better land, leaving the young widow and two small children. She came back to her Yazoo County home and was in time married to Mr. W. H. Mangum, who had been Sheriff and who for years was a conspicuous and influential figure in the county. After his death Mrs. Mangum made her home at Tunica, with her son, Mr. Ernest Mangum.
She was a true type of the Southern woman, whose training and education had developed the higher natures. Naturally refined, the culture which she received made her a most welcome and sought guest in any home, and with her bright optimistic nature she brought sunshine and happiness.
Besides the children named above, she leaves a sister in this city, Mrs. W. F. Cummings. To each one the deepest sympathy is extended..
