Last Rites For Mrs. Geo. Taylor Held April 24

Mrs. Clara Maude Taylor passed away at her home in the Pleasant Hill Community
Sunday, April 23, at 8:45 a.m. after a long illness.  Funeral services were
held at 2 p.m. April 24, at the Hudson Nazarene Church with Rev. Calvin M.
Robinson, Rev. R. L. Daily, and Rev. Virgil Taylor officiating.  Interment was
in the New Hope Cemetery.

Mrs. Taylor was a member of a pioneer Winn Parish family, being the daughter
of the late C. C. "Lum" Allen and Mrs. Clarissa Boyett Allen.  She had resided
in the same community most of 61 years.  Although her illness was serious and
of lengthy duration, the courage, patience, and humor which she displayed will
long be remembered by those who cared for her.  Examples of her pine needle
handcraft in the possession of friends and relatives remain to show her love
and skill in using the native pine needles.  She was a very busy person until
her illness became too critical to permit her any activity.

Surviving Mrs. Taylor are her husband, George W. Taylor; a daughter, Mrs.
Violet Glenn, of Monroe; a granddaughter, Sandra Gail Glenn; two sisters, Mrs.
W. L. Smith of Pleasant Hill and Mrs. Frank M. Cox of Rodessa; three brothers,
M. M. Allen, I. L. Allen, and C. W. Allen of Route Two, Winnfield.  A
daughter, Opaline, preceded her in death a number of years ago.

Pallbearers were her nephews, Max Allen, Dewey Allen, C. W. Allen, Armand
Taylor, Elverson Coates, and Olan Coates.
