Mrs. J. S. Massingill

  Last rites for Mrs. J. S. Massingill, age 74, of Pleasant Hill,
were conducted at the First Baptist Church at 3 p.m., Friday,
October 20th, with Rev. J. C. Salley officiating, and the Rev. J.
L. Stovall of Lake Charles, and Rev. J. Bryant Young of Carthage,
Texas, assisting. Special music was rendered by Mrs. H. M.
Prothro, Mrs. Thomas Hardee, and Mrs. Jack Dykes.

  Interment was in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery, under the direction
of Drewett Funeral Home, Mansfield.

  Mrs. Massingill passed away suddenly Thursday morning, at 6
a.m., at the family residence, October 19th.

  Mrs. Onie Nelson Massingill was born in Shelbyville, Texas, the
daughter of R. T. Nelson, and Nettie Booth Nelson. Her family
moved to Louisiana in 1902, when she was in her early teens,
moving here after her marriage near Pleasant Hill, for the past
fifty two years. The town of Pleasant Hill lost one of their best
citizens, and our heart felt sympathy is extended to her husband,
family, and relatives.

  Survivors are as follows: her husband, John Massingill; two
daughters, Mrs. D. M. Stovall of Carthage, Texas, and Mrs. W. A.
Lanagan of Longview, Texas; one son, Fred Massingill of Dallas,
Texas; three sisters, Mrs. A. B. Fox of Shreveport, Mrs. Maude
Kelly, and Miss Lila Nelson of Mansfield; five grandchildren; two
great grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

  Pallbearers were as follows: Otha Woods, Johnny Murray, Jack
Dykes, Sonny Gregory, Polk Rivers, and Clarence ?.
