ZINA MEADE
  
DEATH CLAIMS AGED WOMAN
MRS. H. P. MEADE SUCCUMBS AT HOME IN OFFUTT.
  
Mrs. Zina Davis Meade, widow of the late Henry Paris Meade and my
mother of Dr. L. G. Meade of Paintsville, died at the family home
at Offutt Wednesday afternoon, after an illness of more than a
year.  Mrs. Meade was suffering from the infirmities of age and
although her death was not unexpected it came as a great shock to
her family and many friends.
  
Funeral services were be held this afternoon (Thursday) at 2:30.
The services wil be at the old home place and will be conducted by
the Rev. H. B. Hewlett of Louisa, who has been a life- long friend
of Mrs. Meade.  Burial will be in the family cemetery of Offutt.
  
Mrs. Meade was past 82 years old and was one of the oldest and most
prominent women of Johnson County.  She was born and reared in
Johnson County and a member of one of the pioneer families of
Eastern Kentucky.  She was a devout Christian and had been a member
of the Methodist Church all her life.  She leaves besides her
family a host of close and dear friends to mourn her passing.
  
She is mourned by four daughters:  Mrs. George W. Butcher, Offutt;
Mrs. B. F. Conley, Flat Gap; Mrs. Henry Best, Offutt, and Mrs.
Chester Riley, of Huntington, W. Va.  Three sons also survive.
They are Walter Meade, of Oklahoma; Dr. J. D. Meade, of Odds, and
Dr. L. G. Meade of Paintsville.  Her husband preceded her in death
several years ago.
  
Mrs. Meade was one of the grand old ladies of Eastern Kentucky and
her passing will leave a distinct vacancy in the life of the
community and that of her devoted family.
