Texas, has been made.
Body in Bed of Roses.
Louise's body rested in bed Of
roses here today, in the freshly
painted little church at the end Of
Main street. There the casket
nestled in a great bank Of roses
before the altar.
The casket was not opened for
the hundreds of friends and curios.
1ty seekers who thronged the
church and overflowed into the
streets for the burial services at IL

But in the early hours of the day,
under shaded light in the home of
w. d. Norman, an uncle of Louise,
the coffin was opened and the
family permitted final view of
the cold beautiful girl that had only
last Christmas greeted them with
sparkling vivacity.

he says that recent visit Marietta it was stated

Inasmuch as Mr.. Carpenter fails to give the source

benefit of others to whom may have been made and
in justice to Mr. Boston himself, deem it best that the
