Mrs. Schumpert Bixler Passes Away

Mrs. Schumpert Bixler, prior to her marriage was Miss Della Anderson,
only daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Marshall Alonzo Anderson, of the Mott
Community, died here Thursday night, after an illness of two weeks.
Mrs. Bixler was 23 years of age , and was born at Mott, she was a
faithful member of the Methodist Church and had won the hearts of the
entire community through her devotion to her husband, who in an accident
two days after their marriage was made blind.
Besides the grief stricken husband, little 2 year old Robbie Del, father
and mother, there are several brothers, all of whom have our greatest
sympathy.
The deceased was gently laid to rest in Plain Dealing Cemetery Friday.
Rev. A.M. Wynne conducting the sad rites and the throng of friends and
loved ones together  with the many lovely flowers banked high attested
the deep love which the community felt for her.
Many prominent citizens of other towns attended the funeral.
