MRS. K. L. DOUGLAS CALLED BY DEATH

Mrs. K. L. Douglas, widow of the late John B. Douglas, passed away 
yesterday afternoon at her home on South Fannie avenue, after an
illness of about three weeks of a complication of diseases.

It will be remembered that Mrs. Douglas fell some time ago and 
sustained a broken hip.  She never got up from her bed after the 
fall, and has suffered great pain.  The most of the time she has 
been in an unconcious condition.  The very best medical attention 
possible was given her, but all to no avail.  She passed away 
peacefully, surrounded by her only son and other loved ones.

Mrs. Douglas was one of the old citizens of Tyler.  She was a 
daughter of Mr. Beverly Walker, a pioneer of Smith county.  Besides 
her son, Alexander, she is survived by one brother, Dr. Walker, 
living in California, and one sister, Mrs. Seaton, living on South 
Fannie avenue. She was a woman who had many friends.  She had a kind 
heart and lovable disposition.  She was a life time member of Marvin
Methodist church, and devoted much time to the promotion of its 
interests.  Years ago when the church building was jeopardized by 
debt, she stepped in and advanced many thousand dollars, saving it 
for the congregation.

The funeral will occur this afternoon, services being held at the
family residence, South Fannie avenue.  Interment at Oakwood 
cemetery. Friends are invited.
