Headline:  Pioneer Dies at Jena Home Last Sunday

Sub-Headline:  W. W. Kendrick Passes Away at Family Home in this City

The sudden death of W. W. Kendrick, aged 79 years and four months, on last 
Sunday afternoon came as a distinct shock to the people of this section with 
whom he had lived since his birth on August 29, 1856.  His death was due to 
heart trouble and occurred at 3;30 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

Mr. Kendrick was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kendrick and was 
considered one of the pioneer residents of Catahoula and LaSalle parishes.  
He had always taken an active interest in the religious, social, and 
political affairs on his native section and was a devout member of the Nolly 
Memorial Methodist Church of Jena.

With his son, T. J., Mr. Kendrick was a member of the firm of Kendrick & Son, 
Jena merchants, but had not taken an active interest in the affairs of the 
business for some time.

Funeral services were held at the Nolly Memorial Methodist Church, interment 
following in the local cemetery.  Rev. D. F. Anders, his pastor, was assisted 
by Rev. B. T. Goodwin, pastor of the First Baptist Church, while the funeral 
arrangements were under the direction of Kinner and Stevens, local 
undertakers.

Surviving the deceased are his wife and the following children:  T. J., H. 
C., Ike, and Earl of Jena; John A. Kendrick of Good Pine; Mrs. S. L. Anders 
and Miss Juanita Kendrick, Jena; Mrs. Curtis Farrow, Clarks, and Mrs. M. 
Watkins, Baton Rouge.
