The deceased was formerly in the mercantile business at Lafourche Crossing, but of late years he had devoted his time to agricultural pursuits, wherein he was very successful. He was a widower, his wife having preceded him to the grave a long number of years ago. He had one daughter, who married a Mr. Felix Gaude, but she also passed into eternity some yearsago. He is survived however, by his brother, Mr. F. J. Gaude, and several sisters. His remains were laid to rest Tuesday evening in St. Joseph Catholic cemetery. ================================ The Lafourche Comet, May 1, 1913 [Thursday], page 5, col. 2 Submitted by: Nancy Wright Necrology Mrs. Furcy Guillot Mrs. Guillot departed this life last Friday night (25 Apr 1913), her end having been the result of a surgical operation that was performed last summer. At the time of her death she was residing on the Belle Grove plantation, in Terrebonne, where her husband is employed as plantation manager; but she was a native of Lafourche parish, having been born here 52 years ago. Consequently, her body was brought here last Saturday forenoon and laid to rest in St. Joseph Catholic cemetery. The deceased is survived by her son, Walter, and her daughter, Mrs. Gaston Aucoin. She leaves three brothers - Messrs Henry Braud, Wallace Braud and Chas. Braud - and seven sisters - Mrs. A. J. Fryou, Mrs. A. Bertherlotte, Mrs. Ulysse Morvant, Mrs.Edgar Hebert, Mrs. Percy Barelli, Mrs. A. J. Morvant and Mrs. Em. Keller. To all of these we extend our sincere sympathy. =========================== The Lafourche Comet, May 1, 1913 [Thursday], page 5, col. 2 Submitted by: Nancy Wright Necrology Miss Margaret McNaughton This estimable lady died last Friday (25 Apr 1913) at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Roger, with whose family she had been identified for a number of years.
