MISS MAY LOUISE STOCKTON
The death of Miss May Louise Stockton, which occurred Sunday morning at 6 o'clock, proved quite a shock to a large circle of her friends. She was a young woman with a wonderful charm of manner and immediately endeared herself to all who had the good fortune to come within the circle of her charm. She was a true Christian, following closely in the Master's footsteps, and there were many who felt the gentle kindness of her ministrations in time of need.
Miss Stockton was a daughter of Mrs. Maggie A. Stockton and the late Colonel Philip Stockton, and was just budding into a beautiful and useful womanhood at the time of her demise. She graduated from the Lower Girls' High School in 1901, and then attended the Normal School, with the intention of devoting her talents to school work. She was a member of the Carrollton Methodist Church, and previously had done much Christian work at the Carondelet Street Church. She was very proud of a gold medal awarded to her for attendance at Sunday school every Sunday for three years.
The funeral took place Monday afternoon and was attended by a host of her sorrowing friends, who paid the last sad tribute to her memory at St. John's Lutheran Cemetery.
