The Death Notice of Mary Jane Priddy Cook

The days I am off work, I go into full genealogy mode. I spend hours and hours going back into my files and seeing which ones I need to be digging more into. A few weeks ago, I decided to look into some old newspapers online. Lo and behold, I dug up Grandma Mary Jane's death notice. It was found in the Greensboro Patriot [now defunct] dated 26 March 1873. Her actual death date was 15 March 1873. It seemed like at the time, obituaries ran about two weeks after the real death date and only prominent citizens or tragic events were published.
