      Leona had been living in Port Arthur when she became ill, and was brought to the Luling hospital four weeks before her death. She was only 28 years old.
      This was taken from obituary.
      She has gone from her dear ones,
      her children and home.
      Whom she willingly toiled for
      and loved as her own.
      Oh, God! how mysterious and
      how strange are Thy ways.
      To take from us this lived one in
      the best of her days.----A Friend
