Funeral services for Mrs. R. J. Schmidt, who died in Chicago on Saturday
morning of last week of injuries sustained in an automobile accident a week
before, were held here Sunday afternoon at four thirty o'clock from the First
Methodist Church.  Rev. G. A. Morgan, pastor, and Rev. Alwin Stokes, pastor of

struck by an automobile as she was alighting from a street car.  She was able
to reach home and was later taken to a hospital where she remained until her
passing on last Saturday morning.  The body was brought here by train for last
rites and interment in the Winnfield Cemetery.

She is survived by two brothers, W. F. DeLoach, now in the United States Navy
on the west coast, Grisham DeLoach of Winnfield, and three sisters, Mrs. Lela
Scott and Mrs. R. J. Crowe of Chicago and Miss Lula DeLoach of Winnfield.
