The Opelousas Courier (Opelousas, La.) 1852-1910, October 10, 1868, Image 2

DIED: On Wednesday, September 30th, 1868, in this town, Percy Morgan, aged 
nearly 12 years, son of John J. Morgan, Esq.

The ever shifting scenes in the drama of life have forever removed from our 
gaze the form of the loved and sprightly little Percy. Who that ever knew 
his gentle, winning nature and genial soul could restrain the bitter tear of 
regret!

To his circle of playmates, by whom he was so warmly cherished, his decease 
was truly a sad announcement; - but to them and to him whose titles of 
endearment were brother and son, and from whose fond embraces he was so 
suddenly snatched, what words can convey their overwhelming bereavement!

Alas! alas!
"They know that he is happy,
With his angel plumage on:
But their hearts are very desolate
To think that he is gone."

Opelousas, October 6th, 1868.
