The death of Miss Solange Octave
Mansfield, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
w. j. E. Mansfield, which occurred al
7 o'clock Tuesday evening following

illness and passed peacefully away at
the tender age of ten years. She was
a pupil of the Convent of Perpetual
Alteration and won the admiration OF
her teachers by her sweet and SYM
pathetic disposition. The funeral was
held Wednesday afternoon from the
residence of her parents and the in
terment was made in the Catholic
cemetery Revs. Fathers O'Reilly and

fourteen year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. F. Mansfield passed into the hands
of his Creator at midnight Saturday,
January 4th. All that fond and gen.
erous parents could do to aid and
comfort the youthful martyr was of
no avail. Forest was a dutiful son
and always displayed cheerful
despite his affection. He
was reared in the lap of the Catholic
church and died with the consoling
promises of his faith. The funeral
took place last Monday and the inter-
ment was in Pascagoula cemetery,
