MRS. FANNIE McDONALD DIES

Mrs. Fannie McDonald a most estimable lady of near Archibald who is well 
known throughout the parish and has a number of friends in every section 
of Richland, died last Saturday morning in Vicksburg at a sanatorium there 
where she has been for several weeks for medical treatment. although she 
was known to be quite ill, she had improved a great deal seemingly just 
before her death; in fact so well did she seem to be that her daughter, 
Mrs. John LaGrone felt safe in leaving her. The death of this good lady 
was unexpected at this time and came as a shock and a source of greatest 
grief to the devoted family and friends.

Mrs. McDonald was the widow of the late lamented Elijah McDonald and was 
the mother of four children, two of whom survive her, Mrs. John Lagrone 
and Joseph McDonald.

She was a woman who might be described as the perfect wife and mother, meriting 
the love and reverence of her family through a useful life. She possessed 
those perfect qualities of heart and head that make woman the redeeming glory 
of mankind. Not only will her loss be felt in the home but in the neighborhood. 
She will be missed and mourned.

We tender the bereaved family the homage of our sympathy and condolence and 
point them for comfort to the hopes of heaven.
