ALBERT S. COLTHARP - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Madison Journal November 26, 1921

ALBERT S. COLTHARP

This most worthy citizen after a lingering illness, passed from amongst us at an early hour Tuesday 
morning.

Mr. Coltharp was born some 70 years ago at Rocky Spring, Miss., he came to Madison Parish about 1871, 
and at once took a prominent place among its citizens; engaging in planting and the mercantile business; 
was President of 5th District Levee Board for more than 20 years. He was a just, honest and upright man; 
would rather give than take, one of nature's noblemen. And many, both white and black have cause to 
remember him.

What was mortal was laid to rest at 3:30 P. M., Tuesday followed by his loved ones and many sorrowing 
friends, who will miss his happy greetings. Funeral from residence, by Rev. Mr. Harrel. He leaves surviving 
him his wife, Mrs. Lelia Coltharp (nee) Downs, two brothers, Mr. Chas. Coltharp, of Tallulah, and Mr. 
M. H. Coltharp, of Oklahoma and daughter, Mrs. J. T. Dale, of Tallulah, who have the sympathy of many friends.
