Death of Mrs.N.L.Fondren
Mrs.N.L.Fondren died on Thursday, Dec.31,1903, at the residence of her son, Mr.J.T.Fondren, of pneumonia, after an illness of seven or eight days, in her 73rd year. Mrs.Fondren was born in Lafayette county, Mississippi, in January 1831, and was married to Rufus S.Fondren, in January 1849, who died in October 1868, thirty five years prior to her death. She had resided in Forrest City since 1877?, and leaves one son, Mr.J.T.Fondren, cashier of the Bank of Eastern Arkansas, and many other dear relatives and friends, including five grandchildren, to mourn their loss. Mrs.Fondren was a fond mother, a devoted Christian, and a member of the Baptist church from girlhood, who never thought any kind of church work too hard or too much trouble. She was always thinking of the comfort and welfare of others rather than her own and was loved by all who knew her. The remains were interred in the Forrest City cemetery Christmas day, religious services conducted by Elder Milton Hall. We extend our heartfelt sympathy and condolence to the bereaved relatives and especially to the son who had been her joy and comfort in her declining years.
