The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1913-05-04

Many hearts III this city are deep
ly grieved at the news received Fri
day of the death of Mr.. VIM. R
Her, which occurred in San Anto-
Mo, Texas.
Mr.. Her was a native of Shreve-
port, and here he had lived contin-
uously until three or four years age
when he removed with his mother
to San Antonio, where he was per-
manently connected with the Regent
Shoe Store of that city. There he
married, and devoted young wife
is left to mourn his loss.
Death always brings sorrow, but
when it comes to the young man in
his prime, or to the maiden in her
bloom, it is inexpressibly sad.
A large family connection in this
city and many warm friends grieve
at the untimely death of this be-
loved young man.
At his bedside through the long
months of sickness were his mother
and wife, whose loving ministra-
tons were an unfailing source of
cheer and comfort.
Mr.. Tier was the only son of Mr..
Thomas Tier, deceased, an old and
prominent citizen of Shreveport,
and Mrs. Maria R. Her.
Three sisters are bowed in sOr-
row at this sore family bereave-
ment: Mrs. V. L. Fulton of this city,
Mrs. NJ. F. Smith of Dallas, Miss
Matte Tier of Mckinney, Texas, and
other devoted relatives, aunts and
cousins.
Funeral services were held in San
Antonio.
May our heavenly Father comfort
the bereaved family.
