DIED:

At her residence in Frostville, Ark., on Sunday morning last,
Mrs. Martha Nixon, wife of Mr. J. B. Nixon, aged 24 years.

The deceased was a native of this parish, being a daughter of
Mrs. J. T. Cruikshank, of Bayou Rapides. She had been ill with
Typhoid fever for almost three weeks, but being of robust health
and having a strong constitution prior to being seized with the
malady, her death came very unexpectedly and was a great shock
to her many relatives and friends in this parish.

Her remains arrived in Boyce over the Texas & Pacific road on
Monday night and were interred in the family cemetery at 
McNutt's Hill, at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, the procession
moving from the residence of her mother on Bayou Rapides, Rev.
H. C. Duncan conducting the funeral services.

The deceased leaves a husband, mother, three sisters and three
brothers, to all of whom the DEMOCRAT tenders heartfelt 
condolence in their sad affliction.
