Headline:  Beloved Lady Dies At Home Near Eden On Last Wednesday

The Angel of Death visited the Eden community on last Wednesday afternoon at 
3:55 o'clock and called Mrs Martha Luella Francis, wife of W. M. Francis and 
one of the most highly respected women of this section.

Mrs Francis, the fourth daughter of the late Rev. J. J. Arnold, was a native 
of LaSalle Parish, having been born March 31, 1885.  Early in life she united 
with the Methodist Church and remained a devout member throughout her entire 
lifetime.  Her life was dedicated to the service of others and her passing 
will be genuinely regretted by a legion of friends.

Suviving the deceased are her husband and the following children, Edgar, 
Eugene, Claude, Herbert, Jewel, Bernice, Lillie, and Yvonne Francis and Mrs 
Oscar McCartney, of Eden, as well as a score of other relatives.

Funeral services were held at Belah on Thursday afternoon, interment 
following in the cemetery at that place.  The funeral arrangements were in 
charge of Kenner and Stevens, funeral directors and Rev A. S. J. Neill, her 
pastor, officiated.
