at a local hospital will be held at the First Baptist Church Friday morning at
10:30.  Rev. John William Warner will conduct the services that will be
concluded with interment in the Winnfield Cemetery.

The deceased was a lifelong resident of Winn Parish and had been engaged in
the mercantile business since early girlhood when she started as saleslady for
local stores.  More than 25 years ago she opened her own business in which
she remained active until a few years ago, when failing health necessitated
retirement to quieter pursuits.

Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Jasper Sowers were pioneer residents of Winn
Parish.  Mrs. Sowers, her mother, before her marriage was Miss Eunice McCarty.

Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Eva Scott and Mrs. Jean Dark, and a number of
nieces and nephews.

the services Friday morning.

Pallbearers were nephews of the deceased: Don Dark, Jean Clair Dark, Charles
Dark, Harry Dark, John W. McCloy, Harold C. McCloy, and George Scott.
