  In the home-going of Mrs. Launa Jane Wilson at her home Saturday,
January 28, Kimble county has lost another pioneer citizen.  She had
been ill several months and for more than two months had been confined
to her bed.  Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon
by Rev. Ennis B. Hill, pastor of the Methodist Church, assisted by
Rev. Jas. J. Kellam, pastor of the Baptist Church.  Interment was made
in the Copperas Cemetery.
  The following acted as pall bearers:
  Joe Maddux, Clay Maddux, Joe Felps, Fred Meyer, Charlie Lacey, and
John Lacey.
  Mrs. Wilson, the daughter of the late J. W. and Nancy Catheryn New,
was born at Harper, Texas, on April 12, 1862, and lived all her life
in this immediate section.  She was married to John T. Wilson at
Junction on July 12, 1888, and to this union were born five children--
Frank Wilson, Oregon, Arthur Wilson, Laferia, and Lillian, William and 
Katie Wilson, all of Junction.  She is survived by all her children, five
grandchildren--three boys and two girls.  She is also survived by one
sister, Mrs. R. E. Lacey, San Antonio, and three brothers--L. L. New,
San Antonio; E. J. New, Pacific Grove, California, and C. C. New, 
Canyon, Arizona.
  When only twelve years old she united with the Methodist Church but
later united with the Junction Baptist church, where she has been a
member 40 years.  In her homegoing, the family has lost a gentle and
loving mother, who devoted her life to the rearing of her children.
