Mrs. Beulah Blanche Austin, 54 years, 11 months and 19 days, died at her home
here Tuesday afternoon at about 5:30 o'clock from a stroke of apoplexy. 
Although suffering some time from high blood pressure, Mrs. Austin seemed to
be in apparently good health.  She fell unconscious at her home at about 4:30
Tuesday afternoon and never regained consciousness.  In her fall she struck a
stove, which ignited her clothing, causing some injury to her hip.

Funeral services were held from the First Presbyterian Church, Thursday
morning at 10:00 o'clock, the pastor, Rev. Alwin Stokes, in charge.  Interment
was in the Winnfield Cemetery.  The beautiful floral offering attested the
esteem in which the deceased was held.

Steen, and D. H. Williams.

The deceased was born in Atlanta, Georgia, January 25, 1877.  She was reared
in that city and was married to W. W. Austin, to which union three children
were born.  Two daughters survive, with the husband.  They are Mrs. Ovey
Trahan, of this city, and Mrs. C. J. Hastings, of Kansas City, recently from
Winnfield, the husband, W. W. Austin, Winnfield; and one brother, I. N.
Haynes, of Nashville, Tenn.

Mr. and Mrs. Austin resided in Hope, Arkansas eight years before coming to

faithful member of the local Presbyterian Church, having been a member of the
Presbyterian Church since early youth.  She was active in the work of the
