BAYOU BOURBEAUX NEWS - MAY 1901
Natchitoches Times


A birthday dinner was celebrated at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Maricellei, Sr. served by Missess Elodie and Loura, the 52nd year of Mr. Wm.
Maricellei and 49th year of Mrs Wm. Maricellei. Several parties attended the
grand dinner; Mr. JW Lestage of Natchitoches, Mr. L Landrbertz and Jules Perot
of Campti, Mr. Adrean Lestage and Edgar Naricellai, Mr. Geo. J Gillam, Mr. A
Maricellai, Mr. and Mrs N Gallien and family. After the dinner hour the guest
were intertained by the Maricellei band, Mr FJ Marcillei the violenist, Miss
Laura and Maud Maricellei the Pianiosts, and Mr. Jules W Marcillei, the player
of the guitar, at the late hour of 4 p.m. ice cream and cake were served, the
parting soon at hand when the music played the sad piece of "It's all over
now". The young girls and boys had a late game of croquet which ended in favor
of Laura W Maricellei and Leo Lambertgs. Perhaps the birthday dinner will be
renewed in 1905. May the happy couple live a long and prosperous life, with
best wishes from their little children.

A Friend.
