Irma News Notes - Nov. 8, 1904
Irma, Nov. 8-Yesterday morning this whole community was shocked to learn of 
the sudden death of Mrs. Tessie Jones Clark, wife of Ed. W. Clark, at their 
home on Byaou Bourdeaux.  The deceased sacrificed her life in the birth of her 
child, leaving a baby boy as a token of her presence in absence.  Mr. Clark 
was born in Harrison county, Texas, as was 19 years of age.  She married Mr. 
Clark in Shreveport seventeen months ago and has a large circle of warm 
friends in that city.  In the early bloom of her rich womanhood she has 
passed away.  She has left sweet memories of her sunny and happy 
disposition.  Her presence carried human sunshine with it.  She was a devoted 
daughter, a loving wife and a splendid helpmate to those around her.  She was 
greatly beloved.  Her widowed mother of Jonesville, Tex., besides other 
relatives, were present to do all that human effort could accomplish to 
relieve her sufferings.  A large concourse of neighbors attended the funeral 
yesterday afternoon, while sobs adn tears attested teh sorry of bereaved 
relatives adn friends adn teh esteem in which she was held.  She sleeps in 
peace and the halo of her short earthly career lingers in teh hearts of those 
who knew her best and loved her most.
