Headline:  George M. Nason is Called by Death at Home on Saturday

Funeral services were held at the family home in Jena on Sunday afternoon at 
1 o'clock for George M. Nason, 69, whose untimely death occurred at 1;30 
o'clock Saturday afternoon.  Interment followed in the Nolly Memorial 
Cemetery under the direction of Kinner & Stevens, local undertakers. Rev. 
Hemphill officiated and the services were at the home.

Mr. Nason had been a resident of this community for thirty years coming here 
from Kosciuska, Mississippi.  He operated a blacksmith shop for many years 
and was beloved by all who knew him.  He had been in ill health for some time 
and, while his death was not unexpected, it comes as a distinct shock to the 
people of this community.

The deceased is survived by his wife, four daughters and three sons as 
follows:  Mrs. Bill Basco, Jena; Mrs. Wm. Hopkins, Jena; Mrs. Henry Prins, 
Wisner; Mrs. A. C. Norris, Columbus Junction, Iowa; W. N. Nason, Bossier 
City; C. V. Nason, Kansas City, Mo.; and N. Newell Nason, editor of The 
Catahoula News at Harrisonburg.
