DIED: LASTRAPES - At her residence in Opelousas, Sunday, April 5, 1896, at 
12:10 a. m., Mrs. Sylvanie Lastrapes, relict of the late Louis Lastrapes, aged 
66 years and 11 months.

This estimable lady was the widow of a gallant Confederate soldier, Capt. Louis 
Lastrapes, long the Clerk of our District Court, who gave up his noble life for 
his country 34 years ago on the bloody field of Shiloh. She enjoyed the love 
and esteem of her neighbors and friends, and her death is mourned by a large 
circle of acquaintances and numerous relatives. "None knew her but to love her, 
none named her but to praise."
