Headline:  Beloved Lady Dies at White Hall Home on Last Thursday

This entire section was saddened on last Thursday morning when news of the 
death of Mrs. Lois Hopkins Richardson at her White Hall home was received.  
Mrs. Richardson passed away at 2:15 a. m. from the effects of pneumonia.

The deceased was born at Rhinehart on May 18, 1893, the daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. Sam Dale.  She attended the Jena High School, later entering training at 
what is now known as the Chamberlain-Rice Hospital in Natchez.  She did post 
graduate work at Peabody College in Nashville.

Her first husband, Albert Hopkins, preceded her in death in Little Rock, 
Arkansas, in 1924.  To this union was born two daughters Misses Katherine 
Dale Hopkins, as student at Louisiana State University, and Anna Lee Hopkins, 
a student in Jena High School.

In 1926, Mrs. Hopkins became the wife of W. W. Richardson in Little Rock and 
1927 she returned to Rhinehart where the family has resided since.  Her 
services as a nurse have been at the disposal of the people of this section 
ever since and she was probably better known and more beloved in more homes 
than any woman in this section.  In 1922, she was drafted by the Red Cross as 
health unit nurse during the eventful high water and served faithfully in 
that capacity.

Her husband, Mr. Richardson, and a stepdaughter, Elva Richardson of 
Shreveport, with the two daughters mentioned above survive her.  She also 
leaves one sister, Mrs. W. W. Haas of Denver, Colorado.

Mrs. Richardson was laid to rest in the family cemetery at White Hall on 
Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock after funeral services had been held at 
the family home.  Rev. D. F. Anders, her pastor, officiated and the funeral 
arrangements were under the direction of Kinner & Stevens, local undertakers
