high mass was sung for the repose of the soul. Rev. J. A. Benoit

and a near friend of the family, assisted with the funeral
services and delivered a sermon. St. John's choir sang requiem
mass, directed by Rev. M. L. Plauche and assisted by the choirs
from Leesville and Natchitoches. Miss Lois Watson of Leesville
sang the "Veni Jesu" during the offertory of the mass. Rev. M. L.

  The love and esteem was attested by the profuse floral
offerings. Mrs. Robinson will be greatly missed by her many
friends.
