She is survived by her husband, Prof. J. M. McLeod, pioneer city educator to whom she was married November 10, 1880, one daughter, Mrs. J. C. Edmonds, of this city, one step-daughter, Mrs. W. H. Butram, of Huntsville, Tenn., a step-son J. N. Rossof Poteau, Okla., and a sister, Mrs. E. Hargraves of Rotan, Texas; four grand children:  N. C.
