Former Winnfield Girl Dies From Pimple Infection at Alexandria

Nona McCann, aged 19, of Alexandria, died in a Shreveport hospital Saturday
night from what attendants said was blood poisoning which developed after she
picked a pimple on her neck.

According to hospital reports, the young woman bruised her face Thursday,
August 20, resulting in an infection which caused her right cheek to become
swollen overnight.

She was carried to Shreveport and admitted to the hospital on Monday, August
24.  She died at 9:45 p.m. Saturday.

Surviving are her mother, Mrs. Bertha McCainn of Alexandria; two brothers,
Melvin McCann of Ruston and Rayburn McCann of Alexandria; one sister, Margie
Dale McCann, Alexandria.

Funeral services were conducted Monday at the home in Alexandria with
interment in the Oak Grove Cemetery near Bentley.  The deceased is a former
resident of Winnfield where she attended school.  A number of relatives and
friends from Winnfield attended the last rites.
