Her girlhood was spent there. She was married in 1880 to Judge James Hargis of Jackson and soon afterwards moved here to make her home for the rest of her life. Judge Hargis preceded her to the grave a number of years ago. Mrs. Hargis was a member of the Presbyterian Church, in which she was an active and untiring worker up to the time of her death. This woman was known and loved throughout the community by her many friends. She will long be remembered as a kind and good Christian woman. Those who survive Mrs. Hargis are her daughter, Mrs. Kash Williams, of this city, two brothers, Mr. Bill Day of Frozen, and Mr. Floyd Day of Winchester and two grandchildren, Helen and James Hogg, Jackson. The many friends of Mrs. Hargis extend their sympathy to the bereaved family, who mourn the loss of such a loved one.
