W. R. (Rawleigh) DePrang, aged 69 years, who had resided in and near
Daingerfield the greater part of his life, passed away at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. H. W. Bradley, at Bossier City, La., last Sunday night at 10:30
o'clock, after suffering for the past year or more with heart trouble and high

hopes of improving his health.
