St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, June 23, 1894, Image 4

DIED. - SAIZAN. - At his residence at Porte Barre, La., on Tuesday, June 
19th, 1894, at 9:25 o'clock, p. m., David P. Saizan, aged 66 years and 3 
months.

The deceased finally found rest in the peaceful embrace of death after many 
months struggle and suffering with an incurable disease. About 12 months 
since he had a stroke of paralysis, followed by several other attacks 
recurring at intervals since that time, the effect of which was to break 
down his iron constitution and slowly but surely bring him to "that bourne 
from whence no traveller e'er returns."

He was a strong man mentally as well as physically and by his force of 
character, energy and integrity was eminently successful in business, always 
holding the most influential positions among the people of his portion of 
the parish. For many years past he followed the business of a merchant, 
planter and also that of receiver and forwarder of freight at Porte Barre, 
and now that his long career is ended he leaves behind him a record of 
stainless honesty and fair dealing with his fellowmen of which his children 
may well be proud. The severe ordeal of his long illness seemed to soften 
whatever of asperity there may have been in his disposition and manner, and 
he became gentle as a little child to all, dovoting himself constantly to 
prayer and humble supplication to his Maker for that forgiveness of which we 
all in common stand in need.

During his long illness he had all the loving attention which a devoted wife 
and children could bestow, and all the aid and relief which could be given 
by the medical art, through his son Dr. J. P. Saizan, who ministered to his 
sufferings tenderly and unremittingly. The one sentiment of the long 
concourse of friends and neighbors who followed him to his last resting 
place was: Peace to his soul!
