St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, LA) Aug. 18, 1906, pg. 3
Mrs. Laure Latour, widow of the late Louis Stagg, died at Eunice, La., on 
Tuesday night, August 7, 1906, at 8 o'clock, aged 65 years, 5 months and 26 
days.

The remains were brought to Opelousas on the train Wednesday evening, and the 
funeral services held at the Catholic Church immediately upon the arrival of 
the train, after which they were interred in the Catholic cemetery.

The death of this much-esteemed lady removes from the homes of a large and 
influential family one of their precious ancestors- one to whom Hawthorne's 
epigram that "Once in every half century, at the longest, a family should 
forget all about its ancestors," has no application, for she was ever dear to 
them; and now that she is in the grave, her memory liveth in their hearts.

She died after a short illness, and in spite of the most skillful medical 
attention and careful nursing.

She leaves seven children, all in full manhood and womanhood, to mourn her 
death. They are Mr. A. Laurent Stagg, of Opelousas; Dr. J. J. Stagg, of Eunice; 
Dr. Marcellus Stagg, of Rayne; Mrs. Robert Lafleur, M. D. Lewis and Widow Will 
Parrott, of Eunice, and Mrs. J. E. Bacon, of Whiteville.

The Clarion extends its heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family.
