Mrs. H. B. Bozeman Dies Suddenly Of Heart Attack

Mrs. H. B. Bozeman, known for her civic and religious activities in Winnfield
since the early 1920s, died suddenly Monday at noon from a heart attack.

Funeral services were conducted at the First Baptist Church, Tuesday, March
20, 1956, at 3 p.m., with the pastor, Dr. W. L. Holcomb, officiating.  Burial
was in the Winnfield Cemetery under direction of Hixson Funeral Home.

Acting as pallbearers were Hasson Morris, Ovey Trahan, Harper Terrill, Eli
Harrell, Earl Applewhite, and J. J. Johnson.

A native of Milam County, Texas, Mrs. Bozeman was the former Miss Anabel
Estes.  She was a graduate of Baylor College at Belton, Texas, and of North
Texas State Teachers College.  At the time of her marriage to Mr. Bozeman Dec.
26, 1922, she was an instructor in Tyler, Texas.

Residing in Winnfield since her marriage, she has been active in civic and
religious groups.  She served in all offices of the American Legion Auxiliary,
and was at one time president of the Eighth District organization.  She was a
member of the First Baptist Church and was reporter for the WMU societies and
was also a member of the Methodist Orphanage Circle and the Readers Review
Club.

Mrs. Bozeman was one of the three local ladies who started the movement to
secure a parish library for Winn.  She donated the first building for the
library and made it possible for the parish to secure the present site at a
low price.  In past years she served as president of the P. T. A. and was an
unselfish worker in all worthy projects.

Besides her husband, she is survived by a son, Estes B. Bozeman of Winnfield,
and a daughter, Mrs. Tom D. Faucett, Jr., of Olkahoma City, Okla.; two
brothers, O. W. Estes of Uvalde, Texas, and Tom W. of Argentina; four sisters,
Mrs. Albert Pullen and Miss Tedd Estes of Mexico City, Mexicon, and Mrs. James
A. Horton of Coushatta, and Mrs. S. D. Summerfield of Baton Rouge and four
grandchildren.

(Note: The late, great Governor and U. S. Senator Huey P. Long has long been
credited for free textbooks for Louisiana public and private schools, and
rightfully so as he was in office when this was accomplished.  It was the idea
of Mrs. Bozeman, whose husband was a childhood friend and longtime political
ally of Long-GED)
