HEIR TO MILLIONS MRS. ANNIE E. LEE DIES LAST NIGHT
Mrs. Annie E. Lee, heir to the land on which the city of Nashville, Tenn., stands, great granddaughter of the civil war veteran, John Sevier, formerly governor of Tennessee, a daughter of the Revolution, a member of the Daughters of the Confederacy, a woman who was known to be devoted to the south, and a resident of San Antonio during the last quarter of a century, died last night at 12 o'clock at her home, 410 West Huisache avenue. Death was due to old age.
Her demise causes sorrow to prevade the ranks of the members of the societies to which she belonged. The funeral will take place at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon under the auspices of the Bernard E. Bee Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy from St. Mary's church. Her body will find its last resting place in the Daughters of the Confederacy lot in the Confederate cemetery.
Mrs. Lee was 76 years old, a native of Tennessee, and was born in Nashville in 1831.
She had lived in San Antonio for the last quarter of a century, having located here in 1882. For many years she had lived with her son-in-law, Ignacio Cardova, 410 West Huisache avenue. Her husband, Felix Lee, a prominent merchant of Knoxville, Tenn., died many years ago. She was the daughter of Mrs. Marie Louise Sevier. She is survived by five granchildren and one daughter, Mrs. I. Cardova, of this city.
Mrs. Lee for many years had a claim in the court at Washington, D.C. and which just recently tended to show that she was heir to a very large sum estimated at millions of dollars. Since her death, it is quite probable her heirs will become interested in the case.
It appears that the City of Nashville now stands upon the property of her grandfather, ex-Governor John Sevier of Tennessee. The court of claims at Washington recently acknowledged that the claim was within the jurisdiction of the court by virtue of which Mrs. Lee became entitled to a large sum, the present value of the property in question. The claim had not yet been definitely decided and it now devolves upon her legal heirs to besome interested in the case.
