Died in Scottsboro on the 22nd inst Commissioner D.T. Rousseau of Garth, 
deceased at the residence of Mr. Sam J. Hamlett, where he was stopping during 
the term of Commissioner's Court.  Mr. Rousseau left home on Sunday, the 13th 
inst, to attend a term of the Commissioner's Court of which he was a member, 
during the following week.  On Wednesday morning he was quite ill and was 
compelled to take to his bed.  His illness continued with but little change 
until a short time before death came.  In the meantime his son was summoned 
from home to attend his father.  However but little importance was attached to 
the condition of Mr. Rousseau until the night of the 21st inst when a messenger 
was sent to summon the other  members of the family to the dying man's 
bedside.  He died before his wife and other relatives reached him.  The remains 
were carried to Paint Rock and from there conveyed to the home of the deceased 
where burial took place in the family burying ground.  In the death of Mr. 
Rousseau the community and county lose a most excellent citizen.
