The unexpected death of the venerable Mr. Clermont Young which occurred at 
his home on Iberia street last Friday, March 28th at four o'clock P. M. was

positions of honor in this Parish, having served our people in the halls of 
the State Legislature during the seventies. In the year 1878 he was 
overwhelmingly elected Sheriff of the Parish which position he filled for 
several years. Some time later he became the Mayor of New Iberia after which
