Mrs. Fleet Brock Dead
The sudden death Tuesday of Mrs. Maude Draughn Brock, wife of Dr. Fleet Brock of the hospital staff that Bogalusa, was a shock and great surprise to family and attending physicians. She had been under treatment at the hospital a short time but was thought to be all right and went for a visit with her aunt Mrs. Newt McElveen at Dillon, where she had a nervous attack and died within few hours
Interment was made Friday in the Cemetery at Warnerton her former home. The beautiful floral offerings from the hospital staff, the Bogalusa Elks and many individual personal friends were comforting and somewhat consoling to the bereaved family. Mrs. Brock is survived by a husband and three children, having many friends in this town who are in deep sympathy with them in their great sorrow.
