It is with deepest sorrow that we record the death of the loved on who has lain at home and suffered the most excrutiating and racking pain for more than three months.

Thinking of the loss to him who has been her faithful friend and companion for thirty years, who was her unselfish and devoted husband, her other self, and to whom she was more than all the world, and in whom she lived and reigned as a guiding star; thinking of her daughters, Mrs.Powers of Galveston, and Mrs.Vadakin of this city, to whom she was an unselfish and indulgent mother in all that word means; of her grandchildren to whom she was devoted and for whom she "builded many castles"; and for her two sisters, a brother and ourselves to whom she had endeared as a mother by her kindly care and advice, and of Mrs.C.L.Knight, her untiring and devoted friend, and of a throng of other friends to whom she had endeared herself herself in the days of her strength;thinking of these and their loss, we write in ink and tears. But thinking of her and her great suffering, the long and tedious confinement, her beautiful life assuring us of her habitation with God, and that she prayed so earnestly that this cup might be taken from her, and that she might have rest, we are glad for her sake that the inevitable has been fulfilled.

LEWIS MARGARET LUCILLE MISS 9 5 1900 2 4 1911 MT.VERNON
2-10-1911 DEATH=The Forrest City Times, Feb. 10, 1911. LOVED LITTLE GIRL DIES. Margaret Lucille Lewis, Only Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Lewis, Passes Away Saturday Night. 'Tis a sad duty indeed, when in the course of the day's work, it becomes necessary to chronicle the deaths of whose we love. 'Tis a sad duty even when the subjects of our feeble efforts have lived their alotted three-score and ten, or when they were personally unknown to us and the chronicling is largely a matter of mechanical effort. But when the subject is one whom the writer has known and loved, the duty then indeed becomes a painful task, and one from which we shrink. On last Sunday morning when the news reached us of the death the night before, shortly after 11:30 o'clock, of little Margaret Lucille Lewis, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. Wright Lewis, we could scarely credit the shocking tidings. It seemed that there must have been some horrid mista,e, that it had been only a few short days since we had seen this sweet, daring little girl in all her childish innocence, about the streets with her loving, devoted parents, and on her way to and from school, and then to hear of her death jut as she was on the threshold of life, seemed to us almost incredible. Lucille had been ill for only about a week, and seriously ill for only three or four days. She was stricken just seven days before her death with an attack of the measles, which grew worse in spite of all that medical skill and kindly, loving care could do, and finally on Saturday night the gentle little body gave up its spirit and little LUcille went to dwell in her Father's house, and left desolate a home in which she had been the brightest jewel. We well know the anquish and the aching of the hearts of her fond parents, who were captive to the charm of her perfect, trusting love and con. dence, and her sweet, beautiful, innocent .IMAGE2350

2-12-1909 P.A.GORMAN KILLS A MAN=About six o'clock on Wednesday evening a rumor reached here that Mr.Paris Gorman had shot and killed a man named John Loddie. near Widener, in this county. Mr.Gorman arrived in Forrest City about 7:30 and surrendered to Dr.McDougal, Deputy Sheriff, and was taken before E.Turley, JP, who placed him under bond of one thousand dollars for his appearance. The inquest was held by Coroner Todd the next day at Sheriff Williams place, south of Widener where the shooting occurred, and found that Mr.Gorman had shot Mr.Loddie with a pistol. Apparently the two had separate ways around Jan.1, and then Loddie came back and tore down a calf lot on his premises without his permission and taken some cotton seed. Upon questioning Loddie, he advanced on Gorman and he felt endangered, and shot in self defense. Both Paris and his father Walter Gorman appreciate the support of the community in this time of trouble.
