The Ouachita Telegraph

Saturday, February 12, 1887

Page 2, Column 1



 Guy Knobloch, the second son of Lieut. Gov. Knobloch, 14 years old, met

with a sad death on Saturday, at Terrebonne Station.  He was out hunting and

his horse became frightened by a passing train.  The youth was thrown off

and when he struck the ground his weapon was discharged, the ball severing

the femoral artery.  Medical skill did not avail and death ensued.  The

deceased was bright, promising boy, and very popular with all who knew him.

His loss is, therefore, the more deeply regretted.
