LAFAYETTE MOURNS JEROME MOUTON.

Lafayette, La., Jan. 23. - Jerome Mouton, well-known lawyer and citizen, 
died at his home here last night of pneumonia, following influenza 
contracted only a week ago. Mr. Mouton, who was 42 years old, was a son of 
the late Charles Homer Mouton, himself a well-known lawyer of this section 
and at one time lieutenant governor of the state. His mother was the laste 
Mrs. Emerite Oliver Mouton.

He was a younger brother of Judge Arthur C. Mouton, with whom he was 
associated as a law partner in the firm of Mouton; Mouton & Deballion, and 
of Judge Julian Mouton of the Circuit Court of Appeals. He is survived by 
his wife, formerly Miss Lizzie Bailey and two children, besides several 
other brothers and sisters and a large family connection throughout 
Southwest Louisiana. His younger brother, Frank P. Mouton of New Iberia and 
sister, Mrs. Dr. Arthur Reed of Angleton, Texas, are here.

He was a graduate of the Louisiana State University, class of 1897, and was 
a member of its board of supervisors. He took his law course at Tulane. He 
was a veteran of the Spanish-American war, and was for a time editor of the 
Lafayette Gazette, following the death of his brother, Homer. He was local 
attorney of the Southern Pacific railway, and formerly city attorney of 
Lafayette, and was representative in the State Legislature for the parish of 
Lafayette during Governor Hall's administration.

He was a member and officer of the local lodge of Elks, and was a charter 
member and attorney for the local camp of Woodmen of the World. Interment 
took place this afternoon.
