After a brief illness from flu and pneumonia, Mrs. Gertha Perdue, aged 40 years, died at her home in the Underwood community just after midnight Thursday. She is survived by her husband, Ezra M. Perdue; nine children, Tilden, Hildreth, James, Kenneth, Hollis, Marie, Irma, Jewell and Mildred Perdue, all of Underwood; and Mrs. Gracie Wooten of Indianapolis; her step father and mother Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Bandy of Lafayette; one sister, Mrs. Lonnie Hire of Oak Dale; two half-brothers, A. R. Bandy of Oklahoma City and Louis Bandy of Nashville; one half sister Mrs. Ida Meador of Scottsville; and step brothers Britt Bandy of Lafayette and Burton Bandy of Spring Creek.

Burial was made at 3 o’clock Friday afternoon in Underwood Cemetery with funeral services conducted by the Rev. M. D. Claybourne. The deceased was a professed Christian although she was not identified with any church. Her early death and the bereavement of so many children and other relatives occasioned many expressions of sorrow and sympathy.
