Estilette Nov. 11th, 1857, he having at that date just graduated from Tale College. Soon after their marriage they came to the parish of St. Landry, the birth place of her husband, and they have continuously resided at or near Opelousas up to the present time. Four children were born of their union, only one of whom, Julia B. Estilette, the wife of Hon. G. L. Dupre, is living, their eldest E. D.

The Bacon family enjoy a high social position in New Haven and the deceased had all of the advantages which the best society and educational institutions could confer, and which developed her into a woman of exceptional intelligence and culture. For many years past Mrs. Estilette has been a invalid but has born her suffering with great fortitude and patience. She passed away quietly, deeply regretted and beloved by a family circle all of whom administered tenderly and constantly to her sufferings. To her bereaved husband and family the Clarion tenders its sincere condolance. source: The Opelousas Courier (Opelousas, La.) 1852-1910, November 06, 1897, Image 1 DIED. - At the family residence, in Opelousas, on Friday morning, Nov. 5, 1897, at 8:15 o'clock, FANNIE B.
