Death of Mr. Vaughan.
Mr. M.V. Vaughan, an old Confederate veteran, and highly
respected citizen of Ouachita
parish, died at his home near Eros, La., May 7th, 1910.
Mr. Vaughan only lacked a few days being 80 years old. Thirty
years of his life (was) spent in Ouachita parish, having (moved) here
from Caldwell parish in 1(). He leaves a devoted wife, six children,
many grand children and a host of friends to mourn his death.
"Uncle Vaughan", as he was familiarly known, was a devoted
Christian, having been a member of the M.E. Church, South, for
fifty-two years. He was remarkable for wise Christian counsel. When
there was any misunderstanding between his neighbors "Uncle Vaughan"
was the one consulted first. He was always ready to speak a work of
comfort to any who were in distress.
But he is gone and "how we will miss him." He was buried by
the Masons of which he was an honored member, at Frantom Chapel
cemetery Sunday, May 8th.
May God bless the bereaved ones.

In Memory of Little Kathleen Catlett.
"I wonder, oh, I wonder, where the little faces go
That come and smile and stay a while and pass like flakes of
snow;
The dear, wee, baby faces that the world has never known,
But Mothers hide, so tender eyed, deep in their hearts alone.

"I love to think that somewhere, in the country we call
heaven,
The land of little faces-very little, very fair-
And every one shall know her own, and cleave unto it there."

We can but wonder why it was best that baby
Kathleen should have so soon been taken away. Coming from God's
beautiful land, where she was fashioned by the angels' own hands, this
little life was as a pure white bud, each day being a petal unfolded,
showing to the near ones some new interest, and binding her closer to
their hearts.
Though, alas, this little bud was lent from heaven for just a
little while, He needed her as a token of the earth, where He was once
a child
"And the mother gave in tears and pain
The flower she most did love:
She knew she would find it again
In the field of light above."
"Love can never lose its own," so when these parents come to
cross the river they know that among the throng watching there, will
be one small form pushed out from among the others, one with smiling
face and beckoning hands, waiting to welcome them to the kingdom of
good, where no mourners are..And so, in the strength of the great love
that bound them to the dead, may they find courage to turn again and
be comforted.

HENRY YOUREE DEAD.
Expired at His Shreveport Home Last Night.
Shreveport, May 13._The Times says: After a long and painful
illness, Mr. Henry H.
Youree, vice president of the Commercial National Bank, died at his
home on Jordan street last evening at 9 o'clock, death being due to
Bright's disease of the kidneys.
For a long time Mr. Youree had been in failing health, and it
was known that he would not recover, but it was not generally thought
that the end was so near, and when it became known last evening that
his demise had occurred, many friends called to extend their sympathy
to the sorrowing ones.
Acting upon the advice of his physicians, Mr. Youree, in
company with his wife and two trained nurses, went to Pasadena, Cal.,
in February, where it was hoped the climate would ultimately restore
him to health, and he did improve to a certain extent, but since his
return home he has been gradually growing weaker, until Tuesday, when
he suffered from two attacks of heart failure. When the end came last
evening he expired as if going to sleep, without a complaint or
murmur.

Church Today.
Dr. M.A. McHenry, for many years a prominent citizens of
Monroe and well known
throughout North Louisiana and South Arkansas died at his home on
Jackson street shortly before noon yesterday after a long and painful
illness which he bore with a patience that comes only with the
Christian life he had lived. Dr. McHenry was born Feb. 1, 1855, in
Union county, Arkansas, where he received his early education. He
later attended the University of Arkansas where he received his
college education, afterwards graduating from the medical department
of Tulane University, New Orleans. It was by his own work that he
paid his way through both universities.
After graduating in medicine, Dr. McHenry located at
Hillsboro, Ark., a center of culture and wealth where he practiced his
profession until moving to Monroe in 1892. While in Hillsboro he met
Miss Wilton Holbrook, a native of Arkansas, then a resident of Long
Island, to whom he was married May 10, 1885, at her New York home.
Since coming to Monroe Dr. McHenry has amassed a considerable
fortune, being president of the New South Drug Company, director in
the Central Savings Bank and Trust Company and interested largely in
farming. He was one of the original stockholders of the old Ouachita
National Bank and was proprietor of the Monroe Jewelry Company.
Dr. McHenry was a devout Christian. He joined the Methodist
church when ten years old and before he was twenty-one was elected to
the board of stewards, a position he held until his death. For a
number of years he was superintendent of the Methodist Sunday School.
Besides his wife Dr. McHenry leaves three sons, Carl H.,
Armond G. and Neal McHenry, and three brothers, C.W., R.L., McHenry of
this city and H.G. McHenry of Presidio, Texas.
The funeral services were held at 10 o'clock this morning at
the First Methodist church where a large concourse of friends
assembled to pay the last sad tribute of respect. The services were
conducted by Rev. R.H. Wynn, who paid a deserving tribute to the life
of the departed. Interment was in the city cemetery.

A Christian Man Called Home.
It is with the greatest sadness and feelings of sorrow that we
chronilce the death of Dr.
M.A. McHenry, which occurred yesterday morning at 11 o'clock and
whose remains were laid to rest this morning in the city cemetery.
Truthfully can be said a good and noble man has gone to his reward; a
Christian man whose ideas and principles of religion and reverence for
the Almighty was of the highest. Unswerving in his duty, as he saw
it, he was ever ready to respond to the calls of his church and with a
tender heart and generous hand, he was a man of benevolence to the
needy and oppressed.
Dr. McHenry was a patient and long sufferer, having been ill
with no hopes of recovery, for two years or more; he never murmured
against the will of his Heavenly Father, but bowed in humble
submission, never questioning His love or mercy, but feeling all was
best. Surrounded by loved ones, who had administered in tenderness
and solicitude to his comforts and ease, his spirit tired and worn
from months of pain and suffering after all medical science had failed
relief, was born on the bright Sabbath yesterday to a home beyond the
skies, where sickness and sorrow comes no more; pain and grief are
never known, only the joys of an eternal home.
To the bereaved wife, sons, brothers and other relatives the
sympathy of the entire community is given in this their hours of
grief.

Death of Mrs. C.E. Jones.
This morning friends and neighbors were surprised and shocked
when they learned of the
death of Mrs. C.E. Jones as only yesterday and up to a late hour in
the evening, she was apparently in the midst of health, without even a
faint shadow to mar what promised to be many years of happiness. "In
the midst of life we are in death," and last evening Mrs. Jones- "Ma"
Jones, as she was affectionately called by her friends and neighbors-
(as) usual attended to her little household duties, and after tea, did
fancy work, feeling in perfect health, but at about 4 o'clock this
morning she aroused with a severe pain in the heart, and although she
managed to open the door to the adjoining room and call to her son,
Mr. Allen Jones, before he could arouse Mr. Tom Jones or summon a
physician, she had fallen across the bed and breathed her last in his
arms, no time being given to notify other relatives and friends.
Mrs. Jones was in her seventy-second year, a consistent
Christian, being a member of the Baptist church, which she attended
regularly, a devoted mother and a true friend. Mrs. Jones leaves four
sons, Dr. W.L. Jones, one of Monroe's leading dentists, with whom she
made her home until a few years ago; Dr. Lawrence Jones of Lake
Charles, also a dentist, Messrs. Allen and Tom Jones of Monroe.
Dr. Lawrence Jones was communicated with by phone and will
reach here on the late train this evening. The remains being held
until his arrival, will be carried tomorrow morning on the 9:15 V.S.
and P. train to Jackson, Miss., for interment.
To the bereaved family the News-Sta(r) offers the sincerest
sympathy.

In Memory of Mrs. E.H. Henson.
Okalossa, La., May 25, 1910
Very often along this journey of life we are reminded that
this is a world of sorrow and death, and that the next is one of
everlasting joy and peace if we only trust in Him who has the power to
give and to take.
So once more the angel of death has come into our midst, May
22nd, about 7 o'clock p.m., and taken to its sacred embrace Mrs. E.H.
Henson, aged 81 years, 3 months.
She was laid to rest in the family cemetery at her old
homestead, where the last tribute of respect was paid her and the body
viewed the last time until we meet her in that home above. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev. Burkett waose (sic) kind and
sympathetic words seemed to affect the hearts of her numerous friends
present.
It was our privilege to know Mrs. Henson from our childhood.
She was a devoted Catholic and a great lover of all that was worthy
and good. There was none other who better fulfilled the duties that
devolve (sic) on a wife, mother and grandmother. In the circle of
home all loved and honored her.
Mrs. Henson's illness was of a continued kind, though she bore
her suffering with uncomplaining fortitude, and met death with
Christian faith and firmness.
Now she has passed away; and her relatives and friends are
mourners indeed. But they have a great and surpassing consolation.
She did not enter upon the passage of the dark valley of the shadow of
death unprepared. Her life work assures us that all was right with
Him. Her last words to her relatives and friends were words of
affection, pertinent advice and religious instruction. Long, long
will they be remembered by the heart stricken mourners.
Now let this be a warning to the impenitent for we know not
who shall be next. And let us cease to weep for she cannot come back
to us but we may go to her while she lives with Jesus and awaits for
these dear ones left behind.
"She has gone to the grave;
But 'twere wrong to deplore her,
When god was her ransom,
Her guardian and guide;
He gave her and took her,
And soon will restore her.
And death has no sting
Since the Savior hath died."

Death of Miss Mary Blake.
It is with the greatest sadness and a heart overflowing with
sympathy for the bereaved mother and sisters that the editress
chronicles the death of Miss Mary Blake of Mt. Vernon, New York which
occurred in a sanitarium at Vicksburg on Monday last from typhoid
fever.
Miss Blake, it will be remembered, the early part of April was
the guest of Mrs. H.D. Briggs at the home of Mrs. Sadler and by her
sweetness of disposition and charm of manner won many friends in
Monroe that will learn with sadness of her death that came as such a
shock.
Miss Blake had been visiting in Key West, Florida, since
January, later in New Orleans for two weeks, then coming to Monroe for
a visit to Mrs. Briggs, who was a school mate at Virginia College,
Roanoke, anticipation pleasures from the renewal of friendships, but
illness brought to a close her visit, and leaving for Vicksburg the
home of her babyhood, where she has many relatives, she developed
typhoid and though carefully nursed and all in the power of medical
skill was done to save the young life, death claimed her and on
Tuesday she was laid to rest in the cemetery at Vicksburg by the side
of her father, where she sweetly sleeps in her southern home 'neath a
southern sky. "Asleep in Jesus, oh how sweet, from which none ever
wake to weep."

Two Die From Wounds.
Two deaths have already resulted from the negro shooting
scrape below Calhoun late Friday afternoon and one or two others are
expected.
Homer Davis, one of the participants in the shooting, died
Saturday and was buried yesterday. The other victim was the five year
old daughter of John Cade. The bullet that killed the little girl
passed through her father's arm. Five were wounded instead of nine as
first reported.
The officers, after a thorough search, failed to locate the
two negroes who did the shooting. They went over as far as the
Jackson parish line. Deputy Sheriff Grant also made trips north and
south of Ruston on the Rock Island.
Note: An account of the fight can be found in the Saturday, May 28,
