SUDDEN DEATH - Mr. Peter M. Becker, manager of the store on Mr. Oliver Beirne's 
Ascension plantation in this parish, died suddenly last Monday morning from an 
attack of epilepsy, a malady with which he has been for years afflicted. He 
arose at a very early hour, about 2 o'clock, and proceeded to an outhouse on the 
premises. His long absence alarmed his wife, who aroused her sister, and 
together they went in search of the unfortunate young man. ***[paper crease] 
dead are better to be imagined than described. Mr. Becker had been here only a 
few months, having previously been employed in a store on the Armant plantation 
of the Burnside estate in St. James. He was a gentleman of excellent character 
and enjoyed the esteem of all who knew him. Only recently married, he leaves a 
young widow to whom the sympathy of the entire community will be extended in her 
irreparable bereavement.
