Death has taken Mrs. Mary Conley Pruden, ending her husband's almost-constant virgil of more than three years at her bedside.
Mrs. Pruden died late yesterday at Baptist Hospital after being in and out of the hospital since an operation three years ago. She was 64 and her white-haired husband, Harry B. Pruden, Sr. is 67. The home is at Pruden, Claiborne County coal-mining town named for the family. His father, the late Thomas Pruden of Fountain City, was an area mining operator.
A News-Sentinel story Sept. 22 told how Mr. Pruden gave up his restaurant business to be with Mrs. Pruden day and night.
She was a Baptist women's leader in her active time, and that was Mrs. Pruden's big outside interest during her shut-in years.
She also leaves a daughter, Mrs. Ray Thomas, Clairfield, a son, Harry B., Oak Ridge; sisters, Mrs. Robert Paige and Mrs. George Gibson, Pruden, Mrs. Anne Watts, Memphis, and Mrs. Adrian Bible, Morristown; brothers, John Conley, Knoxville, and Dennis Conley, Jacksboro. The body was taken to Mann's.
Mr. Pruden's mother, aged Mrs. Thomas Pruden, lives here with a daughter, Mrs. Herbert Acuff, wife of the late Knoxville surgeon and international medical leader.
