Mrs. J. W. Perdue Dies Saturday a.m. of Heart Attack

Mrs. J. W. Perdue, a resident of Winnfield for more than fifty years, died
suddenly of a heart attack last Saturday morning in a local hospital.

Apparently in good health, Mrs. Perdue had done her housework Friday, after
which she complained of chest pains.  However, the pains soon passed and
she resumed her usual activities, enjoyed a night's rest, but soon after
arising Saturday morning she suffered an attack, from which she was unable
to rally.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at three o'clock at the First
Baptist Church conducted by the pastor, Dr. W. L. Holcomb, assisted by the
Rev. Alwin Stokes, pastor of First Presbyterian Church.  Interment was in the
Winnfield Cemetery.

She is survived by her husband, J. W. Perdue, two daughters, Miss Jessie Clyde
Perdue and Mrs. A. T. Drewett, Jr. of Winnfield; one son, Bruce Smith
Perdue and a granddaughter, Clarisse Ann Perdue, of Kenner; one sister,
Mrs. C. D. Towery, Crockett, Texas; three brothers, Gill Smith and Charlie L.
Smith of Winnfield, and Bruce Smith of Greensboro.

Pallbearers were W. D. Walker, R. D. Bevill, J. W. Wroten, Harper Terrill, Don
Walsh of Winnfield, Richard Walsh, Sellinger Walsh of Urania, and Joe Walsh of
Bastrop.
