Headline:  Former Clarks Girl Is Buried
The Caldwell Watchman-Progress, March 10, 1955

The people of this parish were shocked this week to hear of the
death of a former Clarks girl, Mrs. J. D. Roberts of Jena, who
passed away from a cerrebral hemorrhage Tuesday night around 9 
o'clock.

The former Miss Imo Delcoure, she was the daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Delcoure and a sister of Millard Delcoure
of Grayson.

She was born and reared in Clarks, where her parents for years 
operated a boarding house known as the Blue Goose.  She was a 
graduate of the Clarks High School.  She was 40 years old.

Funeral services were held at 4 p. m. at the Old Bethel Baptist
church and interment was made in the nearby cemetery.

Her death came as a distinct surprise according to reports.  It
is stated that on the morning of her death she had attended the
funeral of a relative who was the daughter of her sister-in-law,
Mrs. Christine Roberts Taylor, a former resident of Kelly.  On
the way back she had complained of a slight pain in the back of 
her head and neck.  That night she became ill died shortly 
afterwards.

She is survived by her husband, J. D. Roberts, a former Kelly
boy who owns and operates the Ford agency at Jena, and two 
children, Charles David and Larr Don.

She is also survived by two brothers, Millard (Bill) Delcoure
of Grayson and Houston Delcoure of California; and three sisters:
Mrs. Farrell Nowlin of California, Mrs. Crawf Black of Bastrop
and Mrs. Ivy Williams of Glenmora.
