Mrs. R.G. McCreery



"Mrs. R.G. McCreery, who would have been 97 in January, died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. C.H. Glasscock at Holliday Friday night after a
short illness. Until a week before her death she had lived in her own
home and until the last retained her clear mind and interest in
everything. She was the former Miss Annie Belle Powell, daughter of
William and Eliza Powell, and was born in Mexico. Her husband, the late
R.G. McCreery, was cashier of the Florida Bank for four years, and in
1901 the couple moved to Holliday, where he was head of the Exchange
Bank until it quit business. Mr. and Mrs. McCreery were active in all
phases of church and community life for many years at Holliday. Funeral
services were held at the Holliday Christian Church at 2:30 Monday, by
Rev. S.B. Owings and burial was in the Holliday cemetery. Surviving
Mrs. McCreery are five children, Mrs. C.H. Glasscock and Miss Bertha
McCreery of Holliday, James McCreery of Savannah, Georgia, Jesse
McCreery of Higginsville, and Mrs. Guy Gwyn of St. Louis. She is also
survived by 11 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren."
