In her capacity as a correspondent for a number of metropolitan journals, she ably and persistently kept this town and section before the public and contributed in a large degree to its advancement and welfare. Her letters were interesting, newsy papters that delighted and attracted readers at home and abroad, and many were brought here by her descriptions of the place and its people.
She served several terms as postmistress, and the town never had a more obliging or competent official.
She was and had been for years a devout Catholic. She leaves a number of relatives: two children, Mrs. J. A. Berthelot, of White Castle, La., and Miss Blanche Avery, of this place; two sisters, Miss Josephine E. Welch, of Bay St. Louis, and Mrs. G. W. Archer, of Baldwin, Miss., and one brother, Mr. A. J. Welch, superintendent of the railway mail service at Chattanooga, Tenn. These, with her many friends, and the community at large deeply deplore her loss.
