St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, April 18, 1914, Image 4

Another Veteran Gone to His Reward.

Alfred Perry, a very well thought of old Confederate veteran, died on Friday 
night, after a short illness, at the age of 73 years.

Mr. Perry has been a prominent citizen of this city ever since the close of 
the Civil war, and was prominently connected here, being a brother-in-law of 
the late J. B. Sandoz.

Mr. Perry, who was a private during the war, served with distinguished honor 
in Captain Robin's company, Sons of St. Landry, Company K 28th Louisiana 
Infantry and fought in some of the bitterest fights during the four years of 
turmoil, being at Vicksburg, when the Confederates lost that post and saw 
their hopes vanish forever.

The funeral of Mr. Perry took place from his residence on Main Street to the 
Catholic Church, interment being made in the Catholic Cemetery.


Additional Comments:
NOTE: Alfred Perry is buried in section 7 of the Saint Landry Catholic Church 
cemetery located in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana.
