The deceased was a native of this Parish and descended from the noble old Acadian race, who first settled our Attakapas prairies, born of most respectable parentage, he early in life married into one of the most esteemed families of the Parish. His life was one marked with all those virtues that can commend one to the esteem of his fellows; in private intercourse he was kind and affable, as a citizen he was a truly honest and faithful observer of the laws of the land. A widow and three orphans mourn his untimely loss brought on by untiring industry, more than by the wear of age, and society mourns the loss of one of her most worthy citizens. He is no more, may he in death find but the just reward of his many virtues and worthy deeds.
