From the Lafayette Advertiser
Saturday, Sept. 26, 1891 col 3
	
     There was a sad accident at Carencro bridge last Thursday, 17 inst. In 
which a young boy named Jules Guidry was instantly killed.  He was out in 
the woods with his uncle to show him where to chop wood, when a tree fell 
upon him and his horse, killing him and badly injuring his horse.  His head 
was crushed, one arm and one thigh broken, and his body badly mutilated.  He 
was 13 years of age and the son of Mr. Chas. O. Guidry and Laura Guilbeau.  The 
Advertiser extends its deepest sympathy to the afflicted parents.
