Headline:  Mrs. Coleman Dies at Davis Home in Olla

Funeral services for Mrs. Rebecca Coleman, who died Saturday at the home of

Methodist Church in Jena at 2:30 pm Sunday, interment following in the Nolly 
Memorial Cemetery, with Rev. D. F. Anders, pastor of the church, officiating, 
assisted by rev. E. M. Daffin, pastor of the Olla Baptist Church.  The 
funeral arrangements were under the direction of Riser Funeral Home of 
Columbia.

The deceased was born in LaSalle Parish and was beloved by all who knew her.  
She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. H. W. Davis of Olla, with whom she has 
made her home for several years.  She also leaves four grandchildren, Wayne, 
H. W., Jr.., Elizabeth, and Ruth Davis; one brother, J. N. Coleman, and one 
sister, Mrs. G. S. King, of Jena, as well as a score of other relatives and

unexpected death came as a distinct shock to this entire section.  Active 
pallbearers were W. M. Baker, T. J. Kendrick, W. H. Bishop, Y. W. Flowers, M. 
A. Elliott, and I. B. Gillham.
