"Uncle Bob", as he was affectionately known to all his many friends, was born October 6, 1872 in the community in which he resided his entire life. Although he had been in ill health for the past few months, his death came as a distinct shock to all who knew him.

Caldwell of West Monroe; Mrs. Grace Noble, Monroe; Mrs. Bernice Cloud, Alexandria; Mrs. Vera Lanehart, Alexandria; Mrs. Daisye Todd of New Orleans; Mrs. Nel Nail of Fort Worth, Texas; and Joe E.
