Death of Miss Florence Chapman. - Miss Florence Houston Chapman, daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. Cale T. Chapman, died at the home of her parents in Port Barrow 
Sunday evening at 5:20 o'clock, aged sixteen years, five months and seven 
days. Miss Chapman had been in poor health for some time, her illness having 
been diagnosed as pellagra by the family physician. She was a young woman of 
true Christian character, and occupied a high place in the esteem and 
affection of all who had the pleasure of knowing her. It may truly be said 
without the usual kindly exaggeration that her demise will prove a distinct 
loss to the community in which she lived. Besides a heart-broken father and 
mother, she leaves a little sister, Ruth, and many other relatives. Several 
beautiful floral offerings were sent, among which was a lovely wreath from 
some of her class-mates of the Donaldsonville High School.

The funeral left the family residence at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, with 
services at the Episcopal Church, Rev. Quincy Ewing of Napoleonville 
officiating, and interment in the Protestant cemetery. The Chief sympathizes 
profoundly with the family in their great bereavement.
