Death of Mrs. Henry W. Lear. - It is with profound regret The Chief records the 
death of Mrs. Henry W. Lear, nee Virginia Duke, who passed away at 9:45 o'clock 
Tuesday night at her home in Pascagoula, Miss. Mrs. Lear had been ill a long 
time and it was known that her death was inevitable, but the sad announcement 
proved none the less a shock to her family and friends, and was received with 
sincere sorrow wherever she was known. The body was brought to Donaldsonville 
Thursday afternoon via the T. and P. Railroad and was laid to rest in the 
Protestant cemetery, after services at the grave conducted by the local 
Methodist minister.

Mrs. Lear was a sister of Messrs. J.Rumsey Duke and Henry C. Duke, of this city, 
and was a native of Donaldsonville. She resided here up to a few years ago, when 
she removed to Pascagoula with her husband, who is engaged in farming near that 
place. Possessed of all the womanly virtues and accomplishments, with a cultured 
mind and a rare charm of manner, Mrs. Lear was idolized by her family and 
beloved by her friends, and the sorrow occasioned by her untimely demise is 
sincere and lasting. Besides her husband, she is survived by five children, 
namely: Mrs. Clarence Cary, of Houston, Texas; Mrs. Thos. Crebbs, Miss Maud 
Lear, Duke Lear and Cecil Lear, of Pascagoula. Heartfelt sympathy is extended to 
the bereaved family in the hour of their grief.

Henery W. Lear, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Crebbs, Miss Maud Lear and Cecil Lear, of 
Pascagoula, Miss.; Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Cary, of Houston, Texas, and Robert 
Duke, of Hammond, were here Thursday to attend the funeral of Mrs. Henry W. 
Lear.
