G. FORD CALLED BY DEATH

   It is my unpleasant duty to chronicle the death last week of Mr. Esta Ford,
age 56, who died at his home on Lake St. John last Thursday morning at 4 o'clock
A. M.
   Mr. Ford is well known throughout this Parish and widely liked and highly
esteemed in Monterey where he was a resident for many years, have moved here
from the place of his birth, near Aimwell in Catahoula Parish, with his parents
when he was a young man.  He was a member of the Monterey Christian Church and 
member of the Parhams Camp No. 378 of the Woodmen of the World.  Leaving here in
1927, he moved to Lake St. John where he purchased a farm and erected a nice home
on it where he resided until death called him to his reward.
   Death came as a result of a stroke caused from high blood pressure which came
almost without warning.  He is survived by his wife Mrs. Edna Ford and two children
Mr. Spencer Ford and Mrs. Thelma Marlow of Natchez, Miss.  Also survived by five
brothers and one sister: - Messrs. Galvin Ford of Houston, Texas, Claude Ford of
Lismore, S. S. Ford, Edwin Ford, and Marvin Ford of Monterey, La., and Mrs. P. C.
Magoun of Lismore.
   The funeral cortege arrived here from Lake St. John Thursday afternoon and
burial was made in the Workner's bayou graveyard at 4 o'clock P. M. and the funeral
services were said by Mr. L. L. Lanehart of Monterey.  Heartfelt sympathy is ex-
tended to the family in their hour of great sorrow.
