Mrs. R. O. Mills Dies of Heart Attack Sunday

Funeral services for Mrs. R. O. Mills, who succumbed to a heart attack at a
local clinic Sunday night at 10:30 o'clock, were held at the First Baptist
Church of which the deceased was a member, Monday afternoon at 3:30, with the
pastor, Rev. H. H. McBride, officiating.  Interment was in the Winnfield
Cemetery.

Attesting to the esteem in which the deceased was held and to the work that
she had performed in the church and the community, were the many beautiful
floral offerings.  Her favorite songs, rendered by the choir, and the words of
praise of the pastor were fitting memorials to her life.

Pallbearers were Reggie Gates, R. D. Beville, A. L. Smith, Jesse Corley, S. L.
Garrett, and Joe Mitchell.

Active in the Winnfield Baptist Church for the past twenty three years, Mrs.
Mills had served as superintendent of the Junior Department, circle leader in
missionary work, and Sunday School teacher in the First Baptist Church until
her failing health prevented her.  She was born May Pauline Hudson, November
22, 1885, in Hillsboro, Ark., and was married to R. O. Mills January 15, 1906. 
They moved to Winnfield from Joyce in 1918 where they have since resided.

Surviving are her husband, R. O. Mills, one daughter, Mrs. Houston Gates;
mother, Mrs. W. O. Tatum, and one granddaughter, Gloria Jane Gates, all of
Winnfield; one brother, C. W. Tatum of Simsboro, La.; two nephews, E. A.
Headrick of Alexandria, La., and Murry Hudson of Litroe, La.; and one niece,
Mrs. O. A. Tucker, Springhill, La.
