Sunday. Jan. %, 1908. Mrs. DORCAs
JANE DEAN. widow of A. B. G. Dean,
born Nov. %, 1922. departed this life
aged so years, months and days.
Mrs. Dean lived in a cottage within
forty or fifty yards OF the house of
her son, Mr.. A. A. Dean, whose family
and himself always waited on her
with the greatest care and filial love.
By some unknown accident while
alone for a short while and trying to
get a match off the mantlepiece, she
fell in the fire. and was so badly burn
ed before being discovered that she
died a few hours later. While her in
juries from the burn were not such as
would have caused death to most
persons, still In her enfeebled condi-
ton and great age the shock and ex-
citement was more than she could
stand.
Mrs. Dean was born DOrcas Jane
Alexander, in the State of Alabama.
She was left without her mother when
quite young, and was principally
raised and educated at the home OF
her uncle. Allen Rarksdale, of Laurens,
South Carolina. She was married to
A. B. G. Dean, July 81, 1912, and lived
in Alabama until about 1916, when
they moved to Pamela county, Miss.
where they lived until November,
1854, when they moved to Catahoula
parish, La, where they lived until
December, 1866. They then moved to
Rapides parish. where they lived nm
til January, 1885, when they came to
make their home with their son, A. A.
Dean, at Paramount, where both re-
manned until their death. 1t was ev-
er the constant and earnest effort of
Mr.. Dean and his wife and children to
make and keep his venerable parents
comfortable and happy, and they did
all they could to crafty their every
wish i'm life.

we might say, but at the request OF
the family we write simple death

character of the departed, only men,

Alexander, was president of the first

led up to the Declaration of Ameri-

Her children are: A. A. Dean and
Mrs. DickersOn, of Paramount; f. b.
Dean, who resides on Cane river near
