Headline:  Beloved Lady Dies at her Jena Home on Last Wednesday

Funeral services were held at the Belah Church on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 
o'clock for Mrs. Emmie Wishum, 65, wife of J. W. Wishum, proprietor of 
Wishum's Market in Jena.  Interment followed in the Belah Cemetery with Rev. 
M. T. Doughty of Tullos and Rev. B. T. Goodwin of Jena officiating.

Mrs. Wishum had been in ill health for several weeks.  She first suffered a 
paralytic stroke and, while her death was not unexpected, it comes as a 
distinct shock to her many friends and relatives throughout this section 
where she had resided throughout her entire life.  She was a member of the 
Midway Baptist Church and was beloved by all who knew her.

The deceased is survived by seven children, as follows:  J. D., Troy, 
Clifford, Clarence, and Lonnie of Jena; Lloyd of Tallulah; and Mrs. C. B. 
Chevallier of Walters.  She is also survived by the following brothers, R. E. 
Hudnall, Mayo Hudnall, Jim Hudnall, Brenard Hudnall, all of Nebo; Mrs. J. B. 
Wright and Mrs. Fannie Sandifer of Jena, and Mrs. Will Ray of Nebo.
