Plan Funeral Service For
"Cinderella” Walker, Heiress
INDIANAPOLIS.-(ANP) — Mrs.
Mae Walker Perry, regarded as the
"Cinderella heiress” of the Mme.
C. J. Walker millions, is dead and
members of her family are en route
here to plan last rites for her.
Death struck Mrs. Perry, adopted
daughter of Mrs. A’Lelia Walker
Robinson and president of the
Mme. C. J. Walker Beauty Pro-
ducts company here, sometime early
Thursday morning. She retired
Wednesday night without complain-
ing of any illness only never to

Demonstration
And 4-H Clubs
Progress in ‘45
HOUSTON— Approximately 5,234
hon es in Harris county were in-
fluenced by some phase of the ex-
tension program in 1945 according
to information received from 4-H
and Women Home demonstration
club members.
This club is responsible for many
fruits, moats and vegetables being
canned; chickens raised; homes re-
paired for comfort, rest and con-
venience; clothing made and food
prepared from the standpoint of
wholesome, nutritious, attractive
and appetizing.
Five 4-H club leaders were hon-
oied by the county home demon-
stration council. Mrs. Fannie Will-
iams. Piney Point, was presented a
gold 4-H pin and a certificate for
having served as 4-H sponsor in the
Pir.ey Point for 10 years. Other wo-
men receiving pins and certificates
were Mosdames A. E. Maddox,
led in New York and graduated
from Spelman seminary in Atlanta.
Million Dollar Wedding
She emerged before the world as
a live Cinderella girl when she
married Dr. Gordon Jackson, a
prominent Chicago physician, in the
early ‘20s in a dazzling New York
nuptial ceremony that is reported
to have cost a million dollars.
Mere than 1500 persons jammed
Saint Philip’s Protestant Episcopal
church In Harlen to witness the
colorful ceremony and thousands
milled about the entrance to catch
a glimpse of Mme. Walker's grand-
daughter, presented to society In
real Cinderella style. The church
ceremony was followed by a long
series of social affairs in honor of
the newlyweds, Including a gala
reception at the luxurious Villa Le-
ware, Mme. Walker's $100,000 man-
sion on the Hudson, theatre parties
and dinners.
The bride came to Chicago with
her husband to live following the
gay and scintillating nuptial cere-
monies but soon encountered do-
mestic troubles. She divorced Dr.
Jackson and later married Atty.
Marion Perry, a well-known lawyer
and insurance executive of Pine
Bluff, Ark.
Two children were born of that
union, Walker, 18, a student at Lin-
coln university, Chester, Pa., and
A’Lelia, now a 16-year-old Howard
university freshman. Both are
speeding here to meet their father,
en route from the south, to help
plan funeral arrangements.
