Pallbearers were Richard England, Meredith Mathews, James Lee Smith, Mike Taylor, Darryl Taylor, and Lee Youngblood. Mrs. Mathews, known affectionately to all as "Aunt Fannie," was born Frances Ophelia Durham on January 22, 1882, in Winn Parish, making her only three weeks short of 100 years old at the time of her death. Her parents, the late Thomas B. and Martha Jane Martin Durham, were pioneer settlers in this area. Active in church and community affairs all her life, this family has made a remarkable contribution to the area. Always a person with a kind word and good deed for those around her, her influence will continue to live on. As a niece once described her, "a lovely smiling face, devoted to her family, pointing the way to all with her integrity, humility, patience, love and concern for others." And a granddaughter remarked, "she leaves us with many pleasant memories." Published in The Winn Parish Enterprise-News-American, January 20, 1982
