From:  July 8, 1910 Comrade

J. N. DeLoach

Our friend has passed away.  For many weeks his friends have realized that his
malady was incurable and have been schooling themselves to meet the inevitable,
and yet when the end came the pain of parting was keenly felt.  It was impossible
to know him and not feel the warmth of his genial personality.  We clip the
following from the Shreveport Times of yesterday:

"J. N. DeLoach died last night at his home in this city after an illness lasting
about ten months.  Mr. DeLoach was 39 years old, and leaves a wife and six
children.  At the time of his death, he was secretary-treasurer of the Farmers'
Union of Louisiana, which position he has held for the past two years.  He was
also editor of the Farmers' Union Banner, published here, for the same length of
time up to last summer when the paper went out of existence.

"Mr. DeLoach, together with President Harbert of the State Farmers' Union, was
one of the guests of B. F. Yoakum's good roads party, who made an inspection tour
of the good roads in the North and Northeast last August.  Mr. DeLoach has done
much towards advancing the cause of the farmers of the State, and his loss to
them is heavy, indeed.

"The funeral took place the afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in the city cemetery,
services being conducted first by Dr. J. R. Edwards of the Baptist Church, and
then by the Masons, of which order the deceased was a member."

The profound sympathy of the entire Comrade force is tendered to the family of
our friend in their hour of bereavement.
