Mrs. T.J. Walker Dead

Mrs. Thos. J. Walker of St. Landry died at the Alexandria Sanitarium 
on last Sunday afternoon after a lingering illness of several months, 
aged about thirty five years.

Before marriage she was Miss Laura Lee Wassan and even as a girl was
noted for her accomplishments and lovable disposition.  As a wife, her
natural gifts were only strengthened and developed so that in her maturer
years she was referred to in still more enduring terms as a model neighbor
and wife.  

She is survived by her husband who was formerly a member of the police
jury from the fifth ward and who has many friends here who sympathize with
him to his great misfortune. 

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon and the body laid to rest in
the old cemetery at Chicot where lie the remains of many who helped make the
spot both sacred and historic.
