LAURENT THIBODEAUX MAKES VIOLIN
Church Point Democrat May 8, 1909

It cannot be disproved that Church Point can boast of a very competent wood 
worker, and this party in none other than the trusty smith, Laurent Thibodeaux.  
He has just completed one of the most perfect violins probably ever made. The 
instrument is made of oak and neatly carved.  He has not yet varnished it.  The 
tone is excellent, and one cannot tell it was not made by the regular violin 
makers.  Laurent is somewhat proud of this, his first attempt at such a feat, 
and he being a violin player it is not probable he could be induced to part with 
the same.  He is now making another one, which will be made a little different, 
that is different material will be used for some parts.
