Mrs. Maggie I. Hembree, of 5930 Monticello, a 103-year-old Dallas woman who maintained a perfect voting record and regular church attendance until her 100th year, died here Thursday.

James M. Cox received her first vote on Nov. 2, 1920, as part of the straight Democratic ticket she backed for 51 years.
