A funeral occurred in the city yesterday, which is worthy of special notice. "Aunt Jenny," the deceased, was, perhaps, the oldest person in this part of the State. She was over one hundred and nine years old. She has lived all her life in the McGee family She served for several generations of the family and has always been a great favorite of them. Mr. McGee (Father of Col. E. M. McGee) gave her her freedom forty years ago, but she has remained in the family and was specially cared for in her old age.
