In the death on Nov. 29th of Mr. Pierre Aucoin, Chataignier loses one of her 
most valuable citizens, after a long and patient suffering. He was forty-two 
years on March 19, 1909, and the loving husband of Josephine Vezina, leaving 
her and six children to mourn his death, the oldest son a boy of sixteen. 
Mr. Aucoin caught a blow on the left cheek about three years ago while 
cutting wood. His cheeks beginning to swell, he visited a doctor, and was 
advised to go to Lafayette to consult a specialist. He was told he had 
cancerous tumor. He was taken to New Orleahs (sic), where he was operated 
on, but with all the medical and surgical skill, the cancer was doing its 
deadly work until the end came. Mr. Aucoin suffered untold agonies, but he 
always tried to hide his pain from his friends, always saying it did not 
pain him, and when he would speak of his affliction, he would turn the 
subject off with a joke, always bearing and enduring his pain with courage 
until the end came. Mr. Aucoin, although uneducated, was always one of the 
first to take part in anything that concerned the public. His death will 
leave a gloomy shadow over this community. May he rest in the peace he 
deserves is the wish of a friend and sympathizer of the family.
