The Cairo Messenger, Friday, January 4, 1918
Mrs. L. R. Ferrell Passed Away Last Saturday Night

Mrs. Nell Dunn Ferrell, wife of Mr. Lee R. Ferrell, is no more.  This good lady 
passed away last Saturday evening at 10:25 o'clock after an illness lasting for 
about eight weeks.  She was suddenly taken sick with ear ache on Sunday 
evening, November 4th, and from this attack gradually grew worse.  Soon after 
being attacked, the physicians diagnosed the case as pneumonia, which was the 
direct cause of her death.  For about two weeks, it seem to those near her, 
that the end would come most any time, yet she improved enough to be carried 
back home from her father's residence, where she was first carried after being 
attacked.  She continued to improve until about ten days ago, when a turn for 
the worse came, yet the physicians and those who were always near her, did not 
think the end so near.  Last Saturday evening about 10:15 o'clock, she had a 
sinking spell and quietly passed away in ten minutes after being attacked.  The 
weakness of her heart and the loss of strength was too much for this good 
woman.  Everything that medical aid and loving hands could do for her was done 
without avail.

The funeral services were held at ten o'clock at the Baptist church, being 
conducted by her pastor, Dr. J. A. Wynne.  A large concourse of sorrowing 
relatives and friends attended the services at both the church and the 
cemetery.  The floral offerings were many and were very beautiful, which shows 
the love and high esteem in which she was held by everyone with whom she came 
in contact.  The pall bearers were Messrs. C. McManeus, A. C. Roddenbery, S. A. 
Collins, T. F. Proctor, Carl Poulk, L. A. Bell, Wh. Searcy and C. P. Poulk.

Mrs. Ferrell was twenty-one years of age on January 12, 1917 and was a 
consistent member of the Baptist church.  She was married to Mr. Lee R. Ferrell 
on April 16th, 1916 and it can be truthfully said they lived a very happy and 
contented married life and will be sadly missed by both her little daughter, 
nine months of age, and her husband, besides her many relatives and friends.

She is survived by her husband, Mr. L. R. Ferrell, one daughter, Joyce; Father 
and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Dunn; two sisters, Mrs. A. M. Walker and Miss 
Kathleen Dunn; and four brothers, George, Ellison, Spurgeon and Bob Harriss, 
besides numerous relatives and friends.

She will be sadly missed, not only in the home, but by those with whom she came 
in contact and who had learned to love her.  The Messenger extends condolence 
to the heart-broken husband and other relatives in their hour of sad 
affliction.
