years about 40 years ago died
Monday night at her home at. Ax-

Mrs. Corlew was ti"» years old The
funeral occurred yesterday after-

One of jhe brightest memories of
Mrs. Corlew was her girlhood days
I In South Carolina where as Miss
Jane C. Wade she had the distinc-
tion of teaching the lad who was
later destined to b» the president
of the United States The Wilson
home at that time was just across j
.the street from the modest home
of the young teacher.
j Mrs. Corlew had been a resident
of this county for 23 year.v- c.ominfc j
| o Texas immediately after her mar- ;
| risge. She had always been keen-
j iy interested in the advancement of I
her former pupil. It is doubtful
if there was anyone in the entire'
country more deeply interested in.

|convention than was Mrs. Corlew.
I When the news flashed over the;
I wires that the boy who had at-.
j :

'declared she was the happiest woman |
. in the world and that she just j
j knew he would be elected. She is j
