A Nashville paper has the following;
The funeral of Mollie MAY, one of the “frail sisterhood,” who died Sunday, took place on Monday afternoon. The procession was large, and composed of the poor, bedizened creatures of her class. Upon inquiry, we learned that the deceased came to this city in 1862 or ’63 as a private solider in a regiment from Ohio, and her sex having been discovered she was discharged. Entering upon the career of a prostitute, by adroit management she succeeded in accumulating money, and purchased property. At one time it was supposed she was worth at least $30,000. But she became intemperate, sunk her means rapidly, destroyed her health, and died a wretched inebriate.
