Obituary Record
Hackney, Miss Carrie J. - July 6, 1896
Died--In New Orleans at an early hour morning, Miss Carrie J. Hackney, eldest daughter of Mr. D. A. Hackney. Miss Hackney was well known in Bay St. Louis, having resided here with her parents, and was a woman of thorough education, scholar of profound thought, poetess, artist, musician and composer, and while her untimely death has hushed the sufferings of a long illness, the demise of one so gifted and endeared to all who knew her, is a loss as the birds and flowers would be to springtime, June roses or blue skies to summer-tide. With the grief stricken family and inconsolable friends The Echo deeply sympathizes.
