Pioneer Resident Of Ward 10 Is Claimed By Death

Miss Simie Clifton, 81 year old pioneer resident of Ward 10, Winn Parish, was
claimed by death February 27 at 10 p.m. at her home near Pine Ridge.  Funeral
services were held on February 28 at 2:30 o'clock at the Pine Ridge Cemetery
with Mrs. Annie Peacock of Jonesboro officiating.  Interment was made in the
Pine Ridge Cemetery under the direction of Southern Funeral Home, Jonesboro.

Pallbearers, all nephews of the deceased, were: Will Clifton, Ben Clifton,
Herman Clifton, G. W. Jones, Ezra Hattaway, and C. H. Rushing.

The deceased suffered a stroke about two years ago and had been in ill health
since that time.  However, her death came suddenly and unexpectedly.

Miss Clifton was the daughter of the late G. D. Clifton.  She had never
married and had made her home with her brother, Tom Clifton, who preceded her
in death, in Ward 10.  They reared a niece, Mrs. F. M. Jones, from infancy
after her parents had succumbed.  They also reared a nephew, Sam Clifton.

She had been a faithful member of the Protestant Methodist Church at Antioch
for many years.

Miss Clifton is survived by a number of nieces and nephews.
