Obituary..

Died, at his home in Bossier Parish,
near Plain Dealing, January IA, 1916,
Elijah Morris, aged twenty-five years,
death being due to an attack of pneu-
monia.
Elijah was kind to all, and endured
his suffering (Which lasted about eight
days. with much patience. He asked
his Father to forgive him for every
wrong he had done. As a son he was
always ready to obey his father. His
mother died when he was an infant. AS
brother, ever kind and true; as a
friend, always. faithful.
Weep not, dear father, wife, brother
and sister, as those who have no hope !;
forever trust that Elijah is among the
shining angels-has joined the loved
ones who have gone before, and are
singing around that great white throne.
The writer offers his deepest sympa-
thy in this hour of their sad bereave-
ment.
ga precious one from earth is taken,
A voice that was loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in his home
That never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given;
Though the body moulders here,
The soul, we trust, is safe in heaven"

Will Foster Passes AWAY.

William Long Foster, a prominent
Bossler Parish planter, aged ffty-four
years, died last Thursday at his Shreve-
port home. Mr.. Fosters death was not
sudden and was not unexpected. He had
been in failing health for more than a
year and some months ago sold his plan
tation in this parish and went to Colo
RADIO in an effort to recuperate. He did
not greatly improve and returned home,
and it is thought he realized that his
death would soon follow.
In Mr.. Fosters death Bossier Parish
and this state have lost an energetic and
valuable citizen. He was not only up
and doing as planter here at home and
prominent in the local problems of the
day effecting the welfare of the parish,
but was a thinking man and a leader in
movements of such scope that redounded
to the good Of the state at large. He
was at one time secretary at the Shreve-
port Charity Hospital and was for two
terms a member OF the State Railroad
Commission, which positions he filled
creditably. His later retirement to
plantation life in this parish Was in
great measure due to his failing health
During 1888 Mr.. Foster was united in
marriage to Miss. Minis Davis, of Jack
son, Miss, who survives him. Their
five surviving children are James H.
Foster, Mrs. G. c. Crenshaw and Misses
Frances, Eleanor and Lucille Foster, all
of whom are now residing in Shreve-
port, except Mrs. Crenshaw, whose home
is in Hillsboro, Texas. One brother
Mr.. J. M. Foster of Shreveport three
sisters-Mrs. Foster Comegys of New
York City, Mrs. T. Olive Foster of this
parish, and Mrs. Benton Mcmillan OF
Nashville, Tenn.-and number of other
relatives survive him.
OF excellent family connection, proud
in spirit, true to his convictions, and
steadfast toward his friends the deceased
was a worthy man. May he rest in
peace.
