Mr. W.D. Ward Dead

  Death claimed one of our oldest and most respected citizens Saturday
morning in the person of Mr. W.D. Ward, who died suddenly about 7:00
o'clock at the family home on Third street. Mr. Ward had been in ill
health for some time, but on this particular day seemed to be in fine
spirits and was in the yard feeding his chickens when he was stricken.
He is survived by his wife, three brothers, H.T. Ward, of Jena; N.E. 
Ward, of Prescott, Ark., and E.M. Ward, of Emerson, Ark.; one sister,
Mrs. Theodosia McEachern, of Springhill, La.; three sons, Joe and
Eugene Ward, of Jena, and Ed Ward of Pineville, and two daughters,
Mrs. Lona Bond of Jena and Mrs. Belle Waters, of Shangaloo, La. Mr.
Ward was born July 28, 1852 and would have been 74 years old in July
of this year. The body was laid to rest in the Methodist Cemetery
Sunday afternoon, Rev. John Henry Smith preaching the funeral sermon.
The Times extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family in
their hour of sorrow.
