In New Orleans, on the 9Th oil
January, one of the oldest resi-,
dents, Mrs. Pauline Flanner, died
after a short illness of La Grippe.
Mrs. Flanner was born in Nat
chitoches Parish and for many
years lived either in the town of
Natchitoches or upon Cane River,
where her father, Francis Rou-
bieu owned a large plantation. At
an early age she became the wife
of Doctor Flanner, who died of
yellow fever in the year 1853,
leaving her a widow with two
sons. Thomas J. and Joseph Elan
ner. She was faithful to her
husbands memory and spent her
whole lite in caring Tor ner child
rem and grand children.
The last few years of her life
she made her home in New Or
leans with her devoted grand
daughter, Josephine Flanner, who
married Mr.. THEODORE GrunewaId
At one time Mrs Flanner pos
sessed considerable money, but
hers was the fate of many others,
she was robbed of nearly all her
possessions during the Civil war.
Mrs. Flanner was of a charit-
able and genial disposition and
was loved by all who knew her.
She leaves one son and many
grand children to mour, her loss,
to them we extend our deepest
sympathy. Her remains we're

and Mrs. THEODORE Grunewald and

ship, however. Robinson believes that
Mowry will give him his best serv-

valuable member of the team.
Mowry had row with Roger Bresna-

st. Louis and he was shipped to Pitts
burgh. He did not get along there
and drew his release, enlisting with
the Pittsburgh Feds. With the out
laws also he did not jibe and another
release followed. In spite of all this
he is regarded by many as capable
player, and has a surprising number
of friends wherever he has played.
