His mother had survived an attack of influ- enza just recently. But Tuesday she had taken a sudden turn lor the worse with pneumonia. Lived With Son Since 1940, Mrs. Carmack had lived with her son at Murfreesboro. Her eyesight had been failing and a freakish accident in which lightning had struck a telephone line over which she was talking left her deaf in one ear.

In her last days, she had lived in almost complete retirement. Her philanthropic work had stopped when her health and eyesight De- came impaired. Mrs. Carmack was born In Co- lmhl JTehrnarv 18. 1861.

Bedford Forrest in the Civil War. He was the state supreme court clerk at the time of his death when Elizabeth was 14 years old. Young Elizabeth completed her primary education at the Columbia Institute, a school for girls and younger boys and later was graduated from the Hetty Peagram College in Baltimore, where she received a degree in music in 1881 as fitted the Southern ladies of the day.

Met Young Carmack In approximately the same year, she. met the promising young newspaperman, Edward Ward (Ned) Carmack, through a mutual friend, the late Col. Abraham Looney, a Columbia lawyer. About two years later the pair became engaged but they were not married until seven years later, on April 29, 1890. In that year, Carmack became editor of the old Nashville American and the newlyweds lived in Nashville at the Maxwell House until he transferred to Memphis to become editor and part-owner of the old' Memphis Appeal-Avalanche.

Carmack helped to consolidate the paper with the Commercial and was editor at the time of the first Memphis Commercial Appeal. Latenvdifferences with his publishers aWtssties of the day landed him as aepresentative in Washington from 1897 until 1901 when he became senator and began the most famous time of his career as one of the state's greatest statesmen. Popular in Washington Known to all of Washington, Mrs. Carmack was the ideal wife for her husband during the admin- hem 4-2171 "i lulllnll.Tl officiate. Mrs.
