Headline:  Mrs. Zeagler Dies at Her Olla Home on Thursday Night

The death of Mrs. B. E. Zeagler, 48, of Olla, on last Thursday night came as 
a distinct shock as well as a surprise to her legion of friends throughout 
Central Louisiana where she had spent the major portion of her life.

Mrs. Zeagler was born in Webster Parish.  She was the wife of B. E. Zeagler, 
cashier of the Olla State Bank, and had always taken an active interest in 
the social and religious life of her community.  She had been in ill health 
for sometime, but it was thought that her condition had improved considerably 
and her death was indeed a shock to all who knew and loved her for her kindly 
disposition.

Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church in Olla at 10 am. Saturday 
with Rev. E. M. Daffin, pastor of the Olla Baptist Church officiating, 
assisted by Rev. J. E. Hearn of Sterlington and Rev. R. L. Bridges of Good 
Pine.  Interment followed in the Olla Cemetery under the direction of Young's 
Funeral Home of Olla.

The deceased leaves he husband and one son, Benny Mims Zeagler to mourn her 
passing.  She also leaves one sister, Mrs. Y. W. Flower of Olla and two 
half-brothers, W. D. Mims, Winnsboro, and June Mims of Epps.
