St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, February 11, 1893, Image 2

Mr. Jean Barousse, a well-known and highly esteemed citizen of Acadia parish, 
died at his home in Church Point on the 2nd inst. He was born in Labarthe 
Triand, Hte. Garonne, France, and had been a resident of this community for 53 
years.

CHRONOLOGY.

On the 2nd of this month, at Church Point, in the parish of Acadia, the spirit 
of Mr. Jean Barousse passed away from this earthly sphere to fulfill a higher 
mission in the world beyond. After a well spent life, and after raising and 
educating his children, he was called by his maker to continue in the next 
world the good work he had performed here. The deceased left five children - 
two sons and three daughters - to mourn his loss. Although taken away in the 
full plenitude of a ripe old age, still his children were not prepared to give 
him up, and a sad and aching void has been left in their hearts, which time 
alone can heal.

It will be the proud privilege of his children to speak with pleasure of the 
good traits of their parent who died as he had lived - a good, true and upright 
citizen.

Further remarks would be useless, as Mr. Jean Barousse was to well known to 
require any eulogy or praise. May his ashes rest in peace, and may his children 
live to reach his age and life, and to do the good that he has done.  Vale, 
vale, eternumque, vale!
