Her husband was Francis W. Tracy, was a nephew of Judge Edward D. Tracey, who lived in Macon. Major Phil Tracey, son of Judge Tracey, was about the same age of Francis, Jr., and they were very fond of each other. When the Major was killed at Sharpsburg, during the war, he went after the body and had it buried in New York, where it still reposes. Because of his friendship and relationship, the surviving members of the Tracey family in Macon were so handsomely remembered.
       The following is from the World:
       "Agnes Ethel, who created such a sensation on the American stage some years ago, and who has since lived in retirement, is, by the will of her late husband, Francis W. Tracy, left a millionairess. Mr. Tracy died at his residence in Buffalo on April 21, leaving a fortune of about $3,000,000. His nearest relatives were his widow and Miss Harriett F. Tracy, a daughter by his first wife. . . . Among the remaining private bequests are the following: To William Shelton the income of $40,000 so long as he lives; to Anna Tracy Tracy, daughters of Edward D. Tracy, his uncle, each $30,009 [sic]; to the two daughters of his cousin, Edward D Tracy, late of Macon, Ga, $15,000 each, and to Tracy Baxter, of Macon, Ga., $15,000."
