DIED

At the family residence on Monday, December 31, at 10 a.m., after a 
lingering illness of several months, Mr. Willis P. Wolff, aged 
about 67 years.

Mr. Wolff has been an invalid for a number of years, but nevertheless 
bore same with christian patience.  All that medical skill and loving 
relatives and friends could do was done, but the good Lord decreed 
otherwise.  He was a member of the Calvary Baptist Church of this place 
for a number of years. 

Besides his aged wife, he leaves behind to morn his sad loss, four daughters - 
Mrs. Aaron Munzeisheimer of Dallas, Texas, Mrs. O.L. Guillory of Eunice 
and Mrs. Arel Fontenot and Mrs. F.L. Robinson of Opelousas; three sons, 
Austin of Chicot, Ed of Ravenwood and Charlie, a private at Camp Beauregard, 
and a large number of grand-children.

Mr. Wolff has been an employee of Capt. Sam Haas for a number of years 
and was always on duty, unless otherwise prevented by sickness.

His remains were buried at the Vandeberg graveyard, the Rev. H.B. Homason 
officiating at the grave.  A large number of sorrowing relatives and 
friends followed the body to the graveyard.
