Mrs. L. W. Doucet of Washington; Mrs. Hugh Larson of Norphlet, Ark.; Almo
Elliott, Ashford Elliott, Dodson; two brothers, E. E. Elliott of Olla and E.
M. Elliott of Shreveport; and others.

Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. at the Methodist
Church.  Rev. I. A. Patton of Monroe, pastor of the church with which the
deceased was affiliated, and Rev. S. G. Rodgers of Pineville, pastor of the
Dodson Baptist Church, officiated.  Interment was in the New Hope Cemetery.
