Pelican battery, and was a member of Major Victor Maurin Camp No. 38, United 
Confederate Veterans.

upon the arrival of the 2 p.m. Texas and Pacific train. Services were held at 
the Catholic church, after which the body was laid to rest in the family tomb in 
the Catholic cemetery. A Confederate flag draped the coffin during the funeral 
services and at the internment. The estimable wife of the deceased preceded him 
to the grave about eight months ago. he is survived by five sons and three
