DIED: - At the residence of his son, S. Sorrel, at Olivier, on Thursday 
morning, Dec. 21st, 1916, at 2 a. m. Aruns S. Sorrel, age, 74 years, 7 
months and 18 days. The funeral took place from St. Peters Catholic Church, 
at 4 p. m. the same day. Interment in St. Peters Cemetery. Mr. Sorrel had 
been an invalid for several years, and at the time of his death, was making 
his home with his son, at Olivier Station.

Just after the war Mr. Sorrel undertook to rehabilitate the lost fortunes of 
the family and he was successful. When the Morgans La. & Texas R. R., in 
1870, undertook to extend its line from Brashier, (afterwards Morgan City,) 
on to Texas connections, the route lay through his lands, just off the Teche 
ridge. Sorrel station was located there, just a few miles below Jeanerette, 
on his lands.

His eldest son, Marshall, was the victim of a negro murder and robbery plot, 
at Olivier station in 1899.

He is survived by a son, S. Sorrel, a merchant, at Olivier station, east-
side, and a daughter, the widow of the late Hon. Andrew J. Cammack of this 
city.
