EMILE GAJAN. - After an illness of many months, which had gradually sapped 
his strength, Mr. Emile Gajan, prominent business man of this section, died 
at his home in Schriever, on Thursday, march (sic) 10th, at 7:30 P. M.

Mr. Gajan was a self-made man, who had risen to influence absolutely through 
his own energies and abilities. He had but a few months ago purchased the 
great plantation surrounding Schriever, comprising many hundred acres, large 
sugar factory, and practically the entire town of Schriever. This immense 
transaction was the crowning effort of his life, and it is unfortunate that 
untimely death intervened to prevent him enjoying the fruits of ultimate 
success.

The funeral services were conducted from St. Peter's Catholic Church, Friday 
at 5 P. M., with a large concourse of friends and acquaintances attending, 
including the Knights of Columbus Lodge, of which he was a loyal member.
