ATTAKAPAS GAZETTE 1847 de Valcourt Marcotte collection
                          THEODORE DEVALCOURT

Death is appalling, come when it may, and strike down whom it will, but when 
we see one combining the qualities of a kind and affectionate husband, a 
tender and provident father, and a good and useful citizen snatched suddenly 
from his family and the society of which he was an ornament, it is terribly 
so. That such were the characteristics of the deceased is known to all who 
were well acquainted with him.

Quiet and unpretending in his manners, and domestic in his habits, he 
discharged faithfully the duties of husband, son, father and citizen; and 
above all he possessed in an eminent degree all those qualities which 
constitute God's noblest work, AN HONEST MAN.

To his family (a wife and four children) his loss is irreparable, - they have 
the consolation however of knowing that he died at peace with God and man, and 
that the virtues and moral excellencies which adorned his character, will long 
cause his memory to be respected and revered in this community; and we trust 
and believe that he has exchanged the troubles and trials of this life for the 
joys of a better and brighter world.
