Mary Frances “Fannie” Sholars Kidd Obituary
Ruston Newspaper April 1908
Miss Fannie Kidd Dead

   Last Saturday night Mrs. Fannie Kidd, one of the oldest and most estimable ladies
of Ruston, died at the home of her son, Captain Emmett L. Kidd, on north Vienna Street,
after many months of suffering, and was buried yesterday afternoon in Ruston cemetery. 
Funeral services were held at the residence at four o'clock in the afternoon, conducted 
by Rev. W. A. Wray, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, and both funeral 
and burial were attended by a large crowd of relatives and friends of the family.

   Mrs. Kidd has been in very bad health for several years and for more than a month
past she has lingered at the brink of the “river of life”- being held back, as it were,
by only a tiny cord - her soul being released Saturday night and she passed over the dark
waters where pain and suffering is unknown.

   Mrs. Kidd is the widow of the late Mr. Milton B. Kidd, her husband dying about twenty 
years ago, and mother of Captain Emmett L. Kidd, of this city, and the mother-in-law of 
Jas. M. Smith, of Baton Rouge, and besides these, she leaves grandchildren- children of 
J. M. Smith- a large number of close relatives and a host of warm friends to mourn her 
death.
