TIMECOURT A. VIATOR

A Life-long Resident of this City and a Veteran of the Civil War passes 
Away.

On Tuesday morning at 6:55 o'clock, at his home at 730 W. St. Peters street, 
this city, Timecourt A. Viator died surrounded by the members of his family. 
The end came as a result of an attack of Lagrippe, which turned into 
pneumonia. His last illness was but of ten days duration. When it was 
evident that the end might be apprehended the absent members of his family 
of children were apprised and they all gathered at his bedside.

Mr. Viator, who was born on the 12th day of November, 1840, was just budding 
into young manhood when the Civil War broke out. He went from this section 
with those who fought four long years for the honor of the flag of the "Lost 
Cause". After the surrender he returned to his home to pick up the thread of 
life in the effort to solve some of its problems. There were but few avenues 
for profitable emplyment open to him at the time. Possessed of a hardy 
constitution and a determination to succeed, he took up his work as it 
presented itself to him without useless complaining. In time he built up a 
considerable business as a boss dray man, which allowed him to provide for 
the necessities of a family of ten children, all now living.

When the grim messenger Death delivered his last summons on earth, his 
children had gathered to administer to his last physical and mental comforts 
and to receive his last blessing. His sons, Timecourt, of Jennings; Ovignac, 
of Vinton; Andre, Odra and Rene of this city, and his daughters, Mrs. Sam'l 
LeBlanc, Mrs. A. H. St. Martin of Jennings, Mrs. J. L. Gonzales, Mrs. Joe 
Cordova and Mrs. A. C. Bernard, were all at their old home with their father 
in his last moments on earth. Their children number fifty six.

The funeral services took place from St. Peters Catholic Church on Wednesday 
afternoon at 4 o'clock and his remains were laid to rest with his ancestors 
in St. Peters Cemetery.
