Choat of the Fifth ward, breathed her last, and the following day was laid to rest in the family burying ground. Mrs. Choat had reached a ripe old age, being nearly 90 years old when death summoned her to her reward. She was a faithful wife, devoted mother , and good neighbor. Several children, W. T. and I. L. Choat, Mrs. Anna Parham and J. S. Thomason, besides a large number of grandchildren and other relatives survive her. We deeply sympathize with her aged husband and the mourning loved ones left behind, and we can only point them to our Heavenly Father for comfort and consolation, for He knows all our sorrows and is acquainted with our infirmities.

It is to Mrs. Frankie that I owe thanks for these treasures! Most of these obituaries (which are clippings) have no dates on them. They were probably taken from the Monroe News, one of the parent newspapers of the modern News-Star or the Progressive Age, a Ruston paper. Most date from the 1890-1910 years, which are now lost to time. These newspapers were never preserved. That makes these obituaries even more valuable to researchers. Whenever possible, dates and information clarifying the obituaries have been taken from cemetery indexes at the Ouachita Parish Public Library. This was the only Franklin Parish connected death in the collection. SORROWING FRIENDS. Pay Their Respect to Miss Lotta Lea, at Rayville. Rayville, La., Feb. 26th, '02.

R.R. from the home of the deceased who was very popular and held in the highest esteem for her many admirable qualities; for although she was only eighteen years old, by her quiet, modest ladylike [C]hristian department in social and church circles she had won many sincere friends and devoted admirers who speak in the most favorable terms of her charming personality and many accomplishments. She was a consistent member of the Baptist church and gave up life with a [C] hristian hope of the joy beyond the grave in "that house not made with hands eternal in the Heavens." Prof. J.B. Aswell is with the many friends of the bereaved family deeply affected and will go to Winnsboro this evening to officiate in the last sad rites to his esteemed deceased pupil.

E. Tullos, died in the Baptist Hospital at New Orleans early last Thursday morning. Tullos had recently undergone an operation for appendicitis at the sanitarium in Monroe. Doctors declared that they had found other complicatory diseases that would necessitate another operation and the youth was removed to New Orleans to undergo treatment prior to the operation which was to have been performed as soon as his strength would permit. Reports from New Orleans during the first part of the week were that he was much better. One later stated that he was to undergo a minor operation this week. It is understood here that he underwent this operation and later became worse. He died quite suddenly on Thursday morning. Doctors performed an autopsy following his death to determine the exact cause of his demise. Arthur Tullos was well known and well liked by young and old in Winnsboro. He graduated from the Winnsboro High School last spring. He had been a popular student in the school, being good in athletics and also a model student. After finishing school he accepted a position with the Franklin Service Station where he was working when he became ill. He was working with the idea of making enough money to enter college next year. The body will arrive in Winnsboro today, Friday, at noon and the funeral will be held from the Baptist church at three thirty with interment in the local cemetery. -----------------------------------------------------
