The physician, however, left for Bumgardner's residence immediately and when he arrived 15 minutes later Bumgardner was dying. His wife, Mrs. Louise Bumgardner, an employee of the Bossier State bank, was at work at the time.

Funeral arrangements have not been made, but rites will be held sometime Wednesday under direction of the Wellman funeral home. Mr. Bumgardner was a member of the Baptist church.

He was born in ward 5, Bossier parish, near Linton. He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Bumgardner, early settlers in the parish.
