Creamer marykcreamer@yahoo.com April 14, 2014, 9:53 pm St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, LA) June 09, 1906, pg. 5 The death of Mr. Theophile Hollier, which occurred at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Chas. Russell, in Lafayette, on Saturday, June 2, 1906, at 9:30 p. m., was received at his home, Opelousas, with most profound regrets, and the large concourse of friends which formed the funeral cortege when the body reached here Sunday mutely but strongly attested the esteem in which he was held by the people of this community. Mr. Hollier had been ill for some months suffering with chronic constitutional troubles, but he had rallied and when taken seriously ill was on his way to Texas, and had stopped to see his daughter in Lafayette. There he was stricken and did not recover. His wife preceeded him to the grave only a few months ago, and both of them were, it was thought at the time, fatally stricken at the same time. Now that they have reached that coast, over life's rough ocean driven, may they rejoice, no wanderer lost a family in Heaven. Mr. Hollier was 57 years of age. He was a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen and of the Woodmen of the World, and members of both orders met the body at the train and accompanied it to the grave. Additional Comments: Card Of Thanks We, the undersigned, desire to extend our thanks to the officers and members of the Ancient Order of United Workmen and Woodmen of the World for the prompt settlement of the death claim of our deceased father, Theophile Hollier. We also wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the individual members of both orders who so faithfully watched and assisted at the bedside of our deceased father during his long spell of illness, and for the services rendered the family in the hour of death.
