Obit: Fidelia F. Dean, Grant Parish La
Submitted by: Houston Tracy, Jr.

The Colfax Chronicle
1883 (Complete not written)

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 and Caddo Parishes.

Died - Dean

     At Colfax, La. at 11 o'clock on the night of November 10, 1883, Mrs.
Fidelia F. Dean, aged sixty-eight years, 11 months and 12 days, born in Morgan
County, Georgia, Nov. 28, 1814.
     Mrs. Dean was the relict of the late George Dean, and located in Black
Creek settlement, Grant Parish (then Rapides) in 1859, where she resided until
death of her husband, about two years ago.
     In her everyday life, Mrs. Dean preserved a quiet, earnest Christian
deportment, in conformity to the rules of the Methodist church, of which she
was a member for a number of years.
     After life's fitful fever, let us hope she has found rest close by the
throne of God, "over there".
