AURELIS MOREAU DIES SUDDENLY

Former Opelousean Expired at His Residence in Swords Station Last Saturday

Aurelis Moreau, for many years a well known citizen of Opelousas, a native 
of the sixth ward, died very suddenly at his home in the Swords Station 
section of St. Landry last Saturday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock. Mr. Moreau 
had not been in very good health for some time, but it had never been 
thought that he would pass off as rapidly as he did.

The deceased was well known here, having resided in this city for nearly 
fifteen years. He had but recently moved to Swords Station, where he 
expected to farm the coming year. He is survived by his wife, two children, 
Miss Elia and Willie, and a number of relatives and a host of warm personal 
friends.

Funeral services were conducted at his residence in Swords Station at 4 
o'clock Sunday afternoon, and interment took place in the Catholic cemetery 
at that place. A delegation of Woodmen of the World, of which Mr. Moreau was 
an esteemed member, attended the funeral and paid homage to their deceased 
brother.
