Mrs. Wilma Juanita Nichols

  Funeral services were held Friday, June 28, at 10 a.m., in the
Forest Park West Cemetery of Shreveport, for Mrs. Wilma Juanita
Nichols, 46, of Longwood.

  The body of Mrs. Nichols was recovered Wednesday, June 26, from
its burial hiding place in a garden at the family home, according
to Caddo Parish Sheriff Jimmy Goslin.

  The body was recovered by deputies, following a report that the
woman's disappearance involved foul play.

  James Martin Nichols, 50, the woman's husband, was arrested by
Caddo deputies, and charged with homicide in connection with the
shotgun slaying.

  The shooting allegedly took place on Thursday, June 20,
following an argument. The woman had been buried in a garden. Her
husband had begun to build a 4' X 6' shed over the burial spot.
Six bags of ready-mix cement had been poured over the garden
grave.

  Survivors included her daughter, Mrs. Wilma Ann Stanfield of
Zwolle.
