JANE JOHNSON -- Louisiana Intelligencer, Wednesday, May 13, 1874, Page 3, Column 1
Accidental Drowning. Jane Johnson, who resided with her husband on Bayou Tony, on west bank of the Ouachita river, was accidentally drowned on Thursday, the 7th inst. by the upsetting of a dug-out in the overflow. A little child that was in the dug-out with her managed to save itself by clinging to some brush. Her body had not been recovered at last accounts.
--Contributed by Unknown, found on a miscellaneous roll of film at the State Archives. I believe ULM and LSU's Libraries have it too.
