Mrs. Ila Riser Ranney Dies In Shreveport

Funeral services for Mrs. Ila Riser Ranney, 87, native of Winn Parish, who
died early Monday, April 7, 1969, at Gowens Geriatorium, Shreveport, after an
illness of more than a year, were held at 3 p.m. Tuesday at the First National
Funeral Home.

Dr. Billy O. Smith, pastor of Southside Baptist Church, officiated.  He was
assisted at the graveside by Rev. H. A. Smith, Methodist minister.  Burial was
in Forest Park Cemetery.

Mrs. Ranney had been a resident of Shreveport for almost 60 years and had been
a member of the Southside Baptist Church 57 years where she had taught Sunday
School classes most of that time until her health prevented active
participation several years ago.

She is survived by four nieces, Mrs. George Larson and Mary Riser of
Winnfield, Mrs. B. G. Newton of Indian Harbour Beach, Fla., and Mrs. R. V.
Shirley of Washington, D. C., and a host of great nephews and nieces.

Attending the last rites from Winnfield in addition to Mrs. Larson and Miss
Riser, was Mrs. Chester Derr, a great niece of the deceased.
