The wife of Dr. Charles Ratzburg; lived to 103.
Few individuals are granted a life span of 103 years. Noteworthy as was her age, more remarkable was the fact that with advancing years she stayed abreast of the times. Her memories of childhood on a Texas plantation and of Shreveport when she and her husband, the late Dr. Charles Ratzburg, moved here in the early 1890's remained fresh.
Although she lost her sight about 12 years ago, she kept well informed about current events by listening to the radio and by reading books in Braille. Her interest ranged far, including sports. The LSU Tigers had no more avid fan than she was.
Mrs. Ratzburg was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and she and her husband helped organize Dunlap Presbyterian Church. She held memberships in the Woman's Department Club, Daughters of the American Revolution and the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
The Journal extends its sympathy to her son, Dr. Fred Ratzburg, her daughter, Mrs. George S. Wing, both of Shreveport, and the other survivors.
