(Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, November 30, 1901, Image 3 CAPT. C. T. PATIN. Special to The States. New Iberia, La., Nov. 22. - Another pioneer citizen has gone to rest, Capt. C. T. Patin died at his home on St. Peters street, New Iberia, on Tuesday, November 19, 1901, at 9:30 o'clock p. m., at the advanced age of 75 years, and was buried from the Catholic church the following day. Capt. Patin was a native of the parish of Lafayette and was well and favorably known throughout the Attakapas region. At the outbreak of the Civil War, like all patriots of those stirring times, Capt. Patin joined the Acadian Guards, a company that was gotten up in the parish of Lafayette, with Alfred Mouton as captain, and general afterwards - the gallant Col. Mouton who gave up his life on the field of Mansfield. The Acadia Guards was fused in the Eighteenth Louisiana Regiment, in which regiment Capt. Patin became a commissioned officer and remained with the regiment until the last shot was fired and the banner of the South was folded forever. Capt. Patin married in 1848 Miss Elizabeth Coralie Boutte, daughter of Francois Ceasar Boutte, from which union were born seven children, four sons and three daughters, all living except one daughter, who died five years ago. They are Joseph H. Patin, connected with the United States marshal's office in New Orleans; U. A. Patin, ex-member City Council; Achille Patin, Frank Patin, of the Eureka Hotel, Mrs. Alice Perry and Mrs. Corine Giffe of Ennis, all well and favorably known throughout this section. Capt. Patin was an honorable member of R. S. Perry Camp No. 670 of Confederate Veterans. He was a worthy citizen and like all true Confederate soldiers he wore the white badge of Democracy during the trying days of reconstruction and federal interference, and stood as true as the needle to the pole, combatting the cause of the white people of the South, which is a brighter heritage than place or power, silver or gold. He was a devoted husband, father and friend and always worked for the comfort and welfare of the dear ones dependent upon him for their daily bread. An evidence of the high esteem in which he was held was the large assemblage that accompanied his remains to the little city of the dead and the flowers that were strewn on the bier. A good man has gone to rest.
