At 2 o'clock OF the morning of
April 9th, at the residence of her
son, DR.. $. H. Scruggs in Clou-
tierville, there passed to her re-
ward one of the oldest residents of
this Parish, Mrs. Lise Scruggs nee
Deiouches was nearing her ninety
sixth birthday and truly can it be
said bers was a long life well spent.
Honored and loved bv all, her
DAVIS work was in deeds of charity
to the weak, unfortunate and OPP
pressed. Her constant care was
tor those that needed a protecting
hand. Many citizens of the sur
rounding country followed her to
her last resting place, for with her
the high and low, the rich and
poor always received love and
sympathy. Until the last her Wig
orous mind remained unimpalred.
A devoted Catholic and believing
her life was worthy, she placed
her trust in God and peacefullT
waited for the end. Death came
as quietly as the slumbers of an
innocent babe.
Mrs. Scruggs leaves children
and grandchildren and many other
relatives. Some of her children
have reached three score years and
ten. Since the death Of her hus-
band, many years ago, her home
has been with her son, DR.. S. II.

mother and son was truly beau
