Her health had been declining recently, but she was up and considered by the family and physicians as improving when she was stricken suddenly, and with every medical aid, she passed within an hour. She was a woman of education, a brilliant intellect, and with a kind and gentle disposition, ever ready to uplift those depressed with the cares of life, dispensing always her sweetest charity in word and deed. She is survived by a husband, two little children, father, mother, sisters, and brothers, for whom the deepest sympathy is felt. The remains will be buried from the Catholic Church Wednesday. ====================================================================== CAMPTI NEWS AUG 1912 Campti News Source: Natchitoches Times, Aug 29, 1912 Submitted By: Kay Brown Mrs. Cora Lee Lambre and daughter Elma are visiting relatives here.
