Mrs. Avera Dead

A death inexpressibly sad occurred in this city Sunday afternoon about 3 o’clock when Mrs. Ludie Westbrook Avera, wife of Mr. Jack Avera, passed away after a brief illness. A young woman still in her teens, her passing is one of the things hard for loved ones to understand. She is survived by her husband and an infant daughter.

Funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the home, and interment was made in Oakland Cemetery. Rev. S.L. Morgan of the Baptist church and Rev. D.H. Tuttle, pastor of the Methodist church, conducted the service.
