The Cairo Messenger, Friday, October 30, 1914
Mrs. J. W. Hurst Passes Away

A sad death occurred last Wednesday morning, Oct. 21st, when the spirit of Mrs. 
Lela Hurst, wife of Rev. W. J. Hurst, who lives five miles east of town, took 
its flight from this world to a brighter one above.  Mrs. Hurst had been ill 
with blood poisoning for three weeks and for the last few days her life had 
been despaired of.  Prior to her marriage to Mr. Hurst, she was Miss Lela 
Poulk, daughter of Little John Poulk, a former citizen of this county, who died 
in Oklahoma a few months past.

She was a sweet Christian woman, whose estimable character won her the love and 
esteem of all who were associated with her.  She was a devoted wife and a 
loving mother, whose presence will be greatly missed, but whose influence can 
never be forgotten.

She is survived by her husband, 4 sons and 3 daughters, and one brother, Mr. 
Will Poulk.

The funeral was held at the Pearce Chapel cemetery east of town late Wednesday 
afternoon and was conducted by Rev. J. B. Wight of this city.  A large 
concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends gathered to pay this last tribute 
of respect.
