Headline:  Trout Woman Drowns Near Home When Bank Cave In Funny Louie Bayou 

Mrs. Katie Jackson, age about 36, was drowned near her home in the Trout 
neighborhood Friday.  It seems that Mrs. Jackson was doing the family wash at 
the bayou and in some manner the bank caved causing her to fall into the 
water where she drowned.

It is reported that Mrs. Jackson's absence from the home caused her husband 
to become uneasy.  Upon going to the bayou, he discovered that his wife had 
evidently fallen into the water and after dragging the stream with a pole the 
body was discovered.

Mrs. Jackson is survived by her husband, Willie Jackson, and several 
brothers.  Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon with interment in 
White Stone Cemetery.
