The World    Phillips County Arkansas   November 30, 1895 

     "The World learns with regret of the death of Miss Hallie Pointer, 
of Turners, this county, which sad event occurred on Sunday last at the 
home of Dr. L. Hall, her brother-in-law.  Miss Pointer was the daughter 
of Col. Sam Pointer, of Indian Bay, one of the best known planters in 
Eastern Arkansas and an old time Southern gentleman.  Miss Pointer had 
been living at Turners for some years and was engaged in teaching school.  
She was a sweet and accomplished young woman and numbered her friends by 
the score.  The fatal illness which cut short her useful and happy young 
life was hematuria, and was contracted only a few days ago.  Miss Pointer 
was buried, yesterday, near her old home.  She leaves an aged father, 
three sisters, Misses Ethel and Pearl and Mrs. Dr. L. Hall, and a brother, 
Mr. Ed Pointer.  She was a cousin to Mesdames E. C. Hornor and O'Brien, of 
this city, and Mrs. Emmet Hunter, of Memphis. 
        "The World extends sincerest sympathy to the sorrowing relatives."
