                    DEATH NOTICES OF THEODORE DE VALCOURT

The melancholy duty devolves upon us of announcing the death of Mr. Theodore 
Devalcourt.  Editor of the ATTAKAPAS GAZETTE.  He died in St. Martinville, on 
Monday last, the 27th inst. of the Typhus fever, aged between forty and forty-
five years. Mr. Devalcourt, we believe was from the State of Maryland.  He was 
an old and respected citizen of Attakapas, and had published the Attakapas 
Gazette for the last twenty-three years.  As a journalist and a citizen, he 
gained the confidence and esteem of all who knew him; and as a husband and 
father he was kind and affectionate. In all the relations of life, public and 
private, he practised the virtues of a Christian man.

                             THEODORE DEVALCOURT

Since the last number of this paper was issued, our Town, the brotherhood of 
the press, and society at large has sustained a loss by the death of Mr. 
THEODORE DEVALCOURT, SR.  He departed this life on Monday the 27th Sept. at 
one o'clock P.M., after an illness of some ten or twelve days, which he bore 
with that patience, and quiet meekness for which he was so remarkable.  Mr. 
DeValcourt was a native of the City of Baltimore, and about forty-nine years 
of age.  He settled in St. Martinville twenty-five years ago, and commenced 
the publication of this paper, since which time he has been its Editor and 
proprietor.  Firm and honest in his political principles, he judged others by 
his own conscientious convictions, and was ever courteous towards those who 
differed with him in opion, and the files of this paper will prove that he 
always scrupulously avoided all personalities.
