Wife of Late Judge Rainey Dies at Age 91
Mrs. Fannie Meriwether Rainey, 91, a native Texan, long-time resident of Dallas and wife of the late Judge Anson Rainey, veteran member of the Fifth Court of Appeals, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.E. Fenn, at Hensdale, Ill., a suburb of Chicago.
Mrs. Rainey was born in East Texas, but was reared at Crockett, Houston County, where she was married to Judge Rainey in the early seventies. She was the daughter of a pioneer physician of East Texas. She moved with her husband to Waxahachie where he practiced law and was later District Judge.
When the Court of Civil Appeals was established in Dallas in 1893 Judge Rainey was appointed a member and they moved to Dallas. He served on the court continuously until his retirement in 1920. During their twenty-seven years in Dallas, both Judge and Mrs. Rainey took an active part in the events of the day and were members of the old Oak Lawn Christian Church, now the Preston Road Christian Church.
After Judge Rainey's retirement they moved to Hensdale where Judge Rainey died in 1922. Since that time Mrs. Rainey had made her home with her daughter.
Besides Mrs. Fenn the survivors include two granddaughters, Mrs. James R. Anderson of Dallas and Mrs. William Seaman, Oberlin, Ohio, and three great-grandchildren.
Funeral services and burial will be held at Waxahachie Thursday, the exact time to be announced later.
