Former Memphian Dies in New York

Mrs. Sallie Andrews Menken, 77, widow of the late Nathan D. Menken, pioneer Memphis merchant, died Monday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George H. Andrews, in Red Bank, N. J., according to word received her last night.

Mrs. Menken, a native of New York, made her home here for a number of years until her return to the east several years ago. She had been in ill health for several years.

Besides Mrs. Andrews, she is survived by a sister, Mrs. E. L. Goldbaum of Memphis, two sons, N. D. and Spanwood Menken, New York, and a brother, G. O. Andrews, of New York.

Mrs. Menken was well known in Memphis. Her late husband was a member of the Howard Association during the yellow fever epidemic here in 1878, and died a victim of that disease.

Burial rites will take place in New York.
