1895 Obituary of James W. Pickel, Union Parish Louisiana
Farmerville "Gazette", issue of Wednesday, 3 April 1895, page 3
==================================================================================
Note: This obituary spelled the surname "Pickle", whereas I believe the family 
spells it "Pickel".

     Mr. James W. Pickle, a native of this parish, but for the past four or five 
years a resident of Carey, Miss., died at that place Saturday evening and his remains 
were brought here for interment Sunday evening. The burial services were conducted 
according to the ritual of the Knights of Pythias order, Pelican Lodge of this place, 
of which the deceased was a member, attending to his interment.

     Mr. Pickle, so we learn, had been in poor health for some time and last Friday 
intending to take a dose of quinine he made a mistake and took a large dose of morphine. 
Medical aid was promptly summoned to his bedside and he regained consciousness, but the 
terrible effects of the heavy dose of morphine had effected his heart to such an extent 
that he did not survive longer than Saturday. Mr. Pickle leaves a father and several 
brothers and sisters and a host of friends in this parish to mourn his sad death.
