The People's Vindicator/August 22, 1874
Obituary.
DIED at his residnece, in this parish, on the 30th ult., TRECINI DESLOUCHES, 
in the 56 th year of his age.

The death of Mr. Deslouches, the neighborhood has lost the kindest neighbor, 
the most steadfast of friends and the most benevolent of men.  He was, as far 
as he was known, regarded as one of the most charitable and hospitable men of 
the Parish.  Urbane and retiring in his manners, and although born of one of 
the old and highly respected Creole families of Natchitoches, he was but 
little acquainted, save with the ancient population of ante bellum days.  A 
striking peculiarity of this truly benevolent man's character, was his entire 
unselfishenss and his acute sensitiveness regarding his conduct towards other 
men, believingin, and carrying out that great moral doctrine, "do unto others 
as you would they should do unto you."  Mr. Deslouches was twice married, 
first with the daughter of Terence Chaler, Esq., by whom he had two children, 
both living; his second wife being the daughter of the late Pierre Michel 
(Zoriche) by whom he had one child.  He leaves a distressed widow and three 
children to mourn a loss, that they but too deeply feel, together with all who 
had the pleasure of the acquaintance of this upright and just man.  Above his 
new made grave more than one, who has been the recipient ofh is bounty, will 
moisten with grateful tears the red earth that covers his loved remains, and 
kneeling at his last restin gplace, will sen d an orison to the most High for 
the eternal rest of him, who, whilst in this cold and selfish world, rememberd 
the poor and distressed, and relieved them with a generous, charitable and 
bountiful hand.
A FRIEND.
