Miss Doris Mackey Buried Saturday in The Nolley Cemetery

A veil of sorrow was cast upon the Jena community on last Friday morning when
it was learned that Miss Doris Mackey, talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.F.
Mackey, had passed away at 5:45 o'clock at the Vaughan, Wright & Bendel clinic
in Monroe. Miss Mackey underwent an operation for appendicitis at the clinic
on Monday morning preceeding her death and her condition was believed to have
been improving until was was received in Jena early Friday morning that she
had taken a sudden change for the worse.

The deceased was born in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, February 15th 1915. The family
moved to Jena six years ago and Miss Mackey graduated at the Jena High School
later attending Louisiana Tech at Ruston. She had been a student in beauty
school in Monroe for the past several months and was ready to stand her
examination as a beauty specialist when death called her.  Her sunny
disposition endeared her to every one who knew her and her passing will leave
a vacant space in the hearts of people from every walk of life in this
community.

Funeral services were held at the Baptist church in Jena at 10 o'clock
Saturday morning. Interment followed in the Nolley Memorial cemetery. Her
pastor, Rev. A.S.J. Neill, of the Methodist Episcopal church, was assisted by
Rev. L.D. Posey, pastor of the Baptist church, in the funeral services, which
were under the direction of Kinner & Stevens, local undertakers.

Surviving Miss Mackey are her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Mackey;
three sisters, Misses Freddie Mae, Cornelia and Virginia, and one brother,
Billie Bob, all of Jena.
