St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, January 20, 1894, Image 1

DIED. -At his residence in Opelousas, on Tuesday, January 16, 1894, at 8:20 
p. m., Christian Mornhinveg, Sr., aged 80 years, 1 month and 18 days.

In the death of Christian Mornhinveg, Sr., our town loses its oldest and one 
of its very best citizens. He came here from Wurtemberg, Germany, about 
1837, and raised a large family, Opelousas being, we believe, the birth 
place of all his sons and daughters. Mr. Mornhinveg leaves to his children 
and grand children the record of a spotless life, a life distinguished by 
industry, economy, temperance, perfect integrity and all the best domestic 
virtues. He reached an advanced age, and almost the entire community 
testified by their presence at his burial their appreciation of his worth 
and their sympathy with his aged wife and sorrowing children. Peace to his 
ashes.
