Heart Attack Is Fatal To Mrs. Jessie Alford

Mrs. Jessie Alford, 51, of Winnfield, died Wednesday morning of a heart attack
suffered at her home in Laurel Heights.  Funeral arrangements were incomplete
today at press time, pending the arrival of her son, Glen Ray, overseas with
the Navy.

Mrs. Alford's death came as a shock, as she was in apparent good health until
the time of the attack.

Rev. Waynon Mott, pastor of the Laurel Heights Baptist Church, will have
charge of the funeral services, with burial to be in Goldonna Cemetery under
direction of Southern Funeral Home.

Mrs. Alford was a member of the Laurel Heights church, and a lifelong resident
of Winn Parish.  She was the widow of the late Jessie Alford, who died in a
railway accident here several years ago.

She is survived by one daughter, Betty, of Winnfield; two sons, Glen Ray
Alford, with the U. S. Navy in the Far East, and Charles Peabody Alford, with
the Air Force in San Diego, Calif.; one brother, John Law of Gilbert, La., and
one sister, Miss Maggie Law of Winnfield.
