Headline:  Miss Edwards Dies at Family Home in Jena on Saturday

The death of Miss Johnnie Mae Edwards, 21 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
John Edwards, at the family home in Jena on Saturday morning at 1:25 o'clock 
came as a distinct shock to her many friends and relatives throughout this 
section.

Miss Edwards' death was due to pneumonia which she contracted about two weeks 
before her death.  She was a graduate of the Jena High School and the esteem 
in which she was held by the people of this section was attested to by the 
large number that attended her funeral at the Pine Grove Cemetery Sunday 
morning.  The funeral arrangements were under the direction of Kinner & 
Stevens, local undertakers, with Rev. M. T. Doughty, of Tullos, officiating.

The deceased leaves to mourn her passing her father and mother; one brother, 
Nelson; three sisters, Matilda and Ada Lee Edwards and Mrs. Ray Stutson, all 
of Jena.  She also leaves a score of other relatives, all of whom have the 
sincere sympathy of Jena and surrounding community.
