"Charley" was born and reared in Opelousas, followed the painting and baking business for a living, both of which trades were injurious to his health, resulting in his having several attacks of hemorrhage of the lungs, culminating in his death in the prime of life. "Charley" always strived to do right; To win in life's battle made a brave fight; This he undertook with all his might, And made the shady side look bright. He was ever ready the poor to serve; Never from duty's path did swerve; But his light went out upon this earth, To shine again in celestial birth. Since from earth he has departed, His relatives are broken-hearted; But Father Time will make amends When he to us his messenger sends. J. C. Pierce. A card of Thanks: source: The Opelousas Courier.
