NECROLOGY. - Mrs. Celeste Genevieve Garland, relict of the late Hon. Rice 
Garland, associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and mother of Henry L. Garland 
Esq., died at the residence of her son, on last Monday, and was buried on 
Tuesday evening at 3 o'clock P. M. Mrs. Garland reached the venerable age of 79 
years, and belonged to one of the oldest families of St. Landry, - the 
Lastrapes. During her long life she was noted for her piety, charity, and great 
hospitality, and she raised up a number of orphan children who loved her as an 
own mother. Although she had been sick for a long time, and advanced in years, 
yet it grieved her family sorely to give her up. An immense concourse of 
friends and acquaintances followed her remains to the grave, and in her death 
Opelousas and St. Landry parish lose a most estimable christian lady, and one 
of the old land-marks which joined the present era to a generation past and 
gone. May she rest in peace.
