St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, February 16, 1907, Image 3

Death of Moore Garland.

Saturday evening late a telegram was received conveying the doleful 
intelligence that J. Moore Garland had died that evening at six o'clock, at 
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, of pneumonia.

Moore had been gone from Opelousas since about two months, going to that 
section in search of a place to establish himself in the practice of law, in 
which profession he had recently graduated.

His illness was of short duration - before his parents and friends knew his 
danger he had crossed the dark river that flows at the foot of the hill of 
life.

His body arrived here on the evening passenger train Tuesday, accompanied by 
a delegation of the local tribe of Red Men, who had gone to meet it. The 
funeral procession which followed the remains from the depot was a large 
one, evidencing the universal sorrow which his demise has occasioned in the 
community where he was born and had grown up to manhood. The cortege 
proceeded to the Episcopal Church, where the rites of that faith was 
solemnized; after which the Red Men took charge of their deceased brother 
who as a fleeting sunbeam had been called to bask in the smiles of the Great 
Spirit and performed over the bier the beautiful ceremony of that order.

J. Moore Garland was not yet 26 years of age. He was a son of the late Chas. 
F. Garland, and a grandson of the venerable Henry L. Garland.

The Clarion extends its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved ones.
