Mrs. Luna had been a resident of this county for a number of years and moved to Dallas several months ago to be with her daughter after her health failed.

She was the mother of two children: a son, Leon Luna, who died several years ago, and Mrs. Frank Morris of Dallas, who survives. Surviving also are two grandchildren and three sisters, Mrs. Jim McNatt of Greenville, Mrs. Lila Rucker of Peniel, and Mrs. Alpha Steed of Kingston, and one brother, Val Dee Van Cleave of this city.
