In, the practice has been to begin the biographical paragraphs relating to married women with the surname of the husband, followed by the maiden name of the wife in the black letter, and the married name in parentheses. Some exceptions have been made to this rule, but in most cases the reader consulting this book will find the particular name sought to be so classified, as, for example: "LOGAN, Mary Simmerson Cunningham," instead of "LOGAN, Mrs. John Alexander." This is one of many cases where the subject is most widely known by her married name, and for that reason the following index, reversing the order of the names, has been prepared to facilitate ready reference.
