Mrs. Tully M’Crea Dies In Hampton, VA.
Former Sackets Harbor Woman, Wife Of Brigadier General Passes Away
Sackets Harbor, October 29. Mrs. Tully McCrea, wife of General Tulley McCrea, Brigadier General, retired, Ordnance Corps, formerly of Sackets Harbor, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Tschappat, wife of Colonel Tschappat, of the Ordnance Corps, at Hampton, Virginia, on Wednesday last.
Mrs. McCrea was born in Sackets Harbor, the daughter of George Hale Camp and was a granddaughter of Colonel Elisha Camp. Besides her daughter, Mrs. Tschappat, Mrs. McCrea is survived by her sister, Mrs. Rodney Mason, of Sackets Harbor and her husband, General Tulley McCrea.
A friend today paid the following tribute to Mrs. McCrea: The passing away beyond natural sight of Mrs. Harriet Camp McCrea comes with a great shock to her family and many friends. No adequate testimony in words can be borne to the superlative sweetness and strength of her character. Gentle and tender both by nature and grace, her presence diffused constant benedictions. No physical weakness or affliction daunted her courage and hopefulness of soul. Like a rare jewel ever undimmed her bright spirit gave light and cheer to all about her. With an amazing power of will which nothing seemed able to subdue she devoted herself to the happiness and welfare of others. Complete self-forgetfulness lifted her above what her own feelings and wishes might seem to justify. Her never failing faith and buoyancy kept herself and others from depression. Her words and actions bespoke the purity and sincerity of her good will. Richly endowed with the power of love she gave herself with a largeness which bound others to her. She loved and was loved and death cannot sever nor weaken the ties. Her influence abounds in lives made richer by her presence. God’s gentleness made her great. Thus we say farewell with a sorrow not unmingled with a sense of triumph, conscious of the passing of one of the sweetest of souls that ever looked through mortal eyes.
