St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, LA) Aug. 05, 1899, page 3
Theodore Chachere - Died, at the family residence, in Opelousas, on Sunday 
morning, July 30, at 9 o'clock, Thepdore Chachere, aged 69 years and 23 days.

In the death of "Uncle Theo," as he was fondly called by all, a devoted husband 
and father, a benevolent and self-sacrificing friend, and Christian gentleman 
has gone to rest.

Mr. Chachere was one of the fathers of this section. He was probably one of the 
first merchants here, and all during the war kept store in Opelousas. In those 
days of darkness and privation, is when Mr. Chachere's kindness of heart shone 
out in its fullness. It has been said that he was the commissariat of the 
distressed people of St. Landry parish.

His life at home was indeed a model. If he could speak to us from the grave, it 
would be of his wife and children, of his personal friends, of his 
companionship with things about home. The loss of his wife, but a few months 
ago, was a deep affliction to him. May we not hope that in the immortal life 
promised by our Christian faith, the profound belief of humanity from the 
earliest ages, that which we believe in but can not prove, the spirit of Uncle 
Theo will be found worthy of a place among the spirits of those who in this 
life have been honorable, true and faithful to the honest convictions of duty.

He leaves four sons to mourn his death: Robert, Homer, Gustave and L. B.
