St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, LA) Oct. 26, 1918, page 1
Leo Joseph Dejean - Every friend of Leo Dejean and they were many, was bowed 
with grief last Tuesday evening when the news became known that he had passed 
away at 2:30 o'clock that afternoon, aged 39 years, 11 months and 17 days, 
after a brief illness. The funeral took place Wednesday morning from the home 
of the mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Dejean, with interment in the 
Catholic cemetery.

The deceased was one of the best boys in this country - we all looked on him as 
a boy, for he was jovial and full of fun at all times. He never married but 
resided with his father, mother and brothers all his life. Sober, honest and 
industrious, he was beloved and respected by all who knew him and his death 
leaves a void in the hearts of loved ones and friends which can never be 
filled. Besides his father and mother, he leaves three brothers, George, James 
and Charlie, the latter now being in an officer's training camp in Kentucky. A 
large circle of other relatives also survive, and to them, one and all, The 
Clarion tenders its condolences.
