MRS IRVING DEAD: Widely known woman passes away at Home of Mrs. R.L. McClure.

Mrs. Letitia Long Irving, 76 years old, widow of Thomas Irving, a former well 
known resident of Lexington, died last midnight at the home of her daughter, 
Mrs. R.L. McClure, 212 North Upper Street. Death was due to paralysis.

About 4 years ago Mrs. Irving suffered a stroke and practically ever since has 
been an invalid. Until she was paralyzed she was a very active woman for one of 
her advanced age and took a lively interest in home affairs and the education 
of her several grandchildren. Mrs. Irving was born in Indiana but came to 
Kentucky when an infant and all of her long and useful life was spent in this 
city.

She is survived by two children-Mrs. Robert L. McClure, of Lexington, and Henry 
Irving, of Cincinnati. Her only other relative is a maiden aunt, Miss Mollie 
Long, now in her eighty-sixth year, who also resides at the McClure home.

Funeral services will be held at the family residence, 212 N. Upper Street, 
Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock, and the internment will follow in the Long 
Family Plot in the Lexington Cemetery.
