"In Commemoration"
    The grim reaper, Death, has again visited a home in our community and
carried away one of its oldest and best loved citizens, Fed S. Hood.
    "Uncle" Fed, as he was affectionately known, was born in Chambers County,
Alabama, November 9, 1844.  When seven years old he came with his family to
Lincoln Parish, Louisiana.  Here, he grew to manhood and resided until his
death, October 14, 1929, having reached the ripe age of 85 years.
    At the age of 18 he enlisted in the Confederate Army, where he faithfully
served his country until the close and received his honorable discharge.
    In early manhood he was married to Miss Cornelia Brazil, to which union was
born 4 children, all of whom together with his wife, survive him.
    His life was one of love for the out-of-doors, love of his family and
friends.
