Mrs. G. C. Baughn, "Who was
97 years of age in July, died
Thursday night following a
stroke of paralysis suffered
Tuesday. Her left side was
affected, and due to her ad-
vanced age she passed away
quietly, never rallying from the
shock.
Miss Susan Bell was born in
1833 near Jackson, Tenn., and
was married 62 years ago to G.
C. Baughn, who preceded her
in death several years ago. The
family came to Texas in 1881,
locating near Clarksville. In
1882 .they moved to Deport,
purchasing land east of Deport
and erecting a home where the
W. L. Baughn home now stands.
. Mrs. Baughn united with the
Presbyterian church when thir-
teen years of age, and was act-
ive in church work until a few
years ago. When she came to
Deport there was no Presbyter-
ian church, but with other peo-
ple she worshipped at a stoall
box building, which stood near
the present site of the Deport
At the age of 92
she won an attendance prize for
being present at every service
for a year.
Funeral services were con-
ducted Friday afternoon at the
Presbyterian church by Rev. R.
L. >Ely„ assisted by the Revt.
Wm. Avery Rogers. Active
pall bearers were:' W.. B. Ful-
ler, I. L. Read, S. J. Read, Dr.
Stephen H. Grant, V. C. Oliver
and T. T. Jeffust elders of her
church. Honorary pall bearers

gleton, J. M. Jackson, J. B.
Griffin, Earl Allen, C. H. No-
bles and W. H. Thompson. In-
terment was at the Deport cem-
etery, the resting place of her
husband.
Mrs. Baughn was the oldest
resident of Lamar county, and
last year received a prize for
being the oldest mother in the
county.
Affectionately known and lov-
ed by people for miles around,
“Aunt Susan” was one of the
last of the pioneers of this sec-
tion. The many beautiful floral
offerings were testimony of Jthe
esteem in which she was held.

‘ even-
ing service Sunday. He had
planned to speak on “The HoJy
Land” but due to unfavorable
weather only a few were pres-

at some later date to talk on
the former. He gave an inter-
esting lecture on “Egypt,” be-
ginning at the time of Moses
and bringing it up„ to modern
times, telling of the history,
tradition, geography, religion
