Monday noon marked the passing of Mrs. R.T. McFee, highly respected and much beloved resident of Tryon. The end of the journey came after 10 years of patient suffering, and at an advanced age. The funeral, one of the largest in attendance in the history of Tryon, was held at the family residence Tuesday and conducted by rev. H.N. Pratt of Anderson, S.C., her old friend and pastor of the Baptist church of which denomination she was long a faithful and consistent member. Banks of beautiful flowers in wreaths and floral set pieces bore testimony of the love she held in the hearts of the Tryon people and a large concourse followed the remains to its last resting place in the Tryon cemetery. She leaves a devoted husband, three daughters and three sons to mourn their loss. Other members of the family have cared for their mother with devotion during the years of her invalidism and were with her at the end. The hearts of Tryon neighbors and friends go out to them in their bereavement.
