Obit: Carrie Irene Buckner, Grant Parish La
Submitted by Houston Tracy, Jr



The Colfax Chronicle
January 6, 1896 (Hand-written, but very incorrect.  Date of her birth, not
this paper)

Former librarian, Helen Sorrell, at the Grant Parish Library had gone through
some of the microfilm of the newspaper files of the Chronicle and made copies
of obituaries and/or news items, which led to death.
These were found in a folder on the book shelf at that library on a research
trip there 13 February 1999.
Copies were made and then extracted to post here in the LaGenWeb archives for
Grant Parish.
