Scrapbook of Belle Mills
Obituaries from the Scrapbook of Belle Mills
This scrapbook is now in possession of Mrs. Frankie Mills, the widow of Mr. 
George Mills, who was the nephew of Belle Mills.  It is to Mrs. Frankie that I 
owe thanks for these treasures! 

Most of these obituaries (which are clippings) have no dates on them.  They 
were probably taken from the Monroe News, one of the parent newspapers of the 
modern News-Star or the Progressive Age, a Ruston paper.  Most date from the 
1890-1910 years, which are now lost to time.   These newspapers were never 
preserved.  That makes these obituaries even more valuable to researchers.  
Whenever possible, dates and information clarifying the obituaries have been 
taken from cemetery indexes at the Ouachita Parish Public Library.

Sallie Millsaps Larche.
	At this season of rejoicing and high hope, the angel of death has come 
into our midst and taken away the joyous spirit of Sallie Millsaps Larche, a 
sweet young lady, of gracious presence whose whole acquaintanceship was a 
circle of loving friends.  She died in Franklin, La., on Sunday morning, 
December 29th; and was buried near the bosom of the earth that nurtured her, in 
Hasley cemetery above Trenton on Monday afternoon.
	She was born in Union parish near Downsville twenty-five years ago; her 
mother, Mrs. S.A. Larche now resides at the old homestead.  She was a niece of 
Hon. Uriah Millsaps, of West Monroe, and a sister of Mr. L.N. Larche.  She was 
a graduate of Monroe's parish High-school and of the Natchitoches Normal 
School; and had taught in the Franklin High-school in St. Mary parish for two 
years, as well as in country schools in Ouachita during the summers of the 
years she studied at Natchitoches.
	She was a wholesome, happy, hopeful spirit, strong and brave and in 
love with the world, and happy in her profession which she adorned.  Her death 
was wholly unexpected; and to the bitter grief of loss is added the sense of 
sorrow for what she might have done in this world if she had lived-noble work 
now to fall to other hands or go neglected.
	The consolation for the death of those whose work is done is ever-
abiding in rational minds; but that for the death of the young and strong is 
far to seek and can be found only in a vital faith in immortality and the 
unerring beneficence of Providence. 
	To the Heaven of spirits redeemed and departed the pure soul of this 
unselfish, spotless girl has gone out of the reach of loving relatives and 
friends who mourn her sad death, come so untimely in her bright youth.
