Headline: Morton Cottingham Dies at Columbia Early This Week

Morton Cottingham, fifty-one years old, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. 
W. A. Davis Saturday morning after a lingering illness, and was buried in 
Hillside Cemetery Saturday afternoon at three o'clock.  Funeral services were 
conducted by the Rev. James Brooks, a Baptist minister, at the Columbia 
Methodist Church, it being the dying request of Mr. Cottingham that the Rev. 
Brooks, who was a close personal friend, conduct the funeral services.

The deceased was a native of Caldwell Parish, but in his early childhood, his 
father, Richard Cottingham, and his family moved to St. Landry Parish where 
he grew to manhood, but after the death of his father some years ago, he 
returned to Caldwell Parish.

He is survived by numerous relatives besides his sister, Mrs. Davis.  At the 
request of his sister and other relatives, the Rev. S. D. Howard, pastor of 
the Columbia Methodist Church, made a few very appropriate and encouraging 
remarks at the graveside.

Mr. Cottingham was not married.
