The Sabine Index - Teressa Dees

  29 Jun 1934 - Many relatives and friends of Clarence Dees,
son of S. E. Dees, a former Sabine parish boy, were saddened
to learn of the death of his only daughter, Teressa, 14, June 23.

  Teressa and her cousin, Lena Stacner, of same age, were drowned
in Whiskachitto creek near DeRidder while attending a family
reunion picnic near their grandfather Dear's old homestead in
Beauregard parish.

  Miss Dees was an active member of the First Baptist church of
DeRidder. Rev. Wright, of that church conducted the funeral
services at 4 p.m. Sunday.  A large mound of flowers covered the
last resting place in Woodlawn cemetery of DeRidder.  The presence
of several hundred sorrowing friends bore testimony that her sunny
smile, pure life and never ceasing kindness has not been in vain.
