Mrs. Nally was a native of, and had spent most of her life, in Washington County.  Her maiden name was Spalding, she being a daughter of the late Franklin and Ellen Ryan Spalding.  She was first married in 1864 to the late Henry Fenwick, and to this union twelve children were born, five of whom survive, Mrs. W.

Nally, one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of this county.

Mrs. Nally was given a thorough education in her youth, having graduated from Loretto Academy, where, for many years, her aunt was the Mother Superior.

She had been sick for a long time, but bore her suffering patiently and did not rebel when the final summons came.

The family has the sympathy of a wide circle of friends.
