Mr. Walsh came into this Parish about 25 years ago, settling on the farm in Fausse Pointe, now owned by Capt. I. A. Bell, near Morbihan, where by his industry and uprightness of life, he acquired the respect and confidence of his neighbors, who recognized his sterling qualities by having him appointed as member of the Police Jury for the 3d ward, a position which he filled acceptably, his rare good horse sense being often called into requisition by his confreres. Some nine years ago Mr. Walsh sold his farm and moved into our City and became fully identified with its interests, buying property on Center street, erecting thereon a handsome home and doing much to develop that popular thoroughfare, always active and public spirited, his position on any public question was always conservative and right. For the last year or so, Mr. Walsh had been afflicted with a combination of complaints, which evaded the skill of our best physicians and after months of suffering the end came at last, surrounded by his family on Tuesday, about 10 o'clock A. M. The funeral obsequies were held at the Catholic Church, Wednesday morning at 10 A. M., attended by a large number of friends and sorrowing relatives to whom we extend our sincere sympathy.
