Thibodaux, Lna. [i.e. La.] 1875-1898, July 19, 1890


M. H. Landry - Last week, Mr. M. H. Landry, of Donaldsonville, died. The 
deceased was well known all along bayou Lafourche and the coast, having been 
clerk on the different bayou packets for 35 years. He was also a member of the 
company of Lafourche Guards that was organized in Thibodaux in 1861, and served 
throughout the war having, by force of his soldierly qualities, been promoted to 
a lieutenancy in that gallant company. The deceased was beloved by all who knew 
him, having always captured the friendship of any one with whom he came in 
contact, and ever after retaining it. The confederate soldiers are passing away.  
Time is whitening the locks of those gallant youths who left comfortable homes 
to suffer hunger, fatigue, wounds and imprisonment under the flag of the Lost 
Cause. All that the survivors can do is to drop a tear over their tombs, and 
cover their quiet homes with the bright flowers of Hope.
