TARLETON, WILLIAM EDWARD "BILLY" 
Billy, a resident of Hammond Developmental Center in Albany for 40 years
and severely mentally retarded since birth, died at North Oaks Medical

Billy's remains were donated to medical science through the Louisiana
Department of Health and Hospitals, Bureau of Anatomical Services, and will
be transferred by that agency to LSU Medical Sciences in New Orleans, to be
used in teaching medical students. Billy was preceded in death by his
mother, Florence Burke Tarleton; and his grandparents. Billy is survived by
his father, John C. Tarleton; and 11 sisters and brothers, Maureen Yaun,
Patricia Grabher, Barbara Simmons, Donna Castella, Sandra Wooley, Edward,

Joseph Cathedral will be recited by the Rev. Gerard Young, vicar, on
Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2004, at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial
contributions may be made to the Association of Retarded Citizens of Baton
Rouge, the William Tarleton Fund at Hammond Developmental Center, 45439
Live Oak Drive, Hammond, LA 70401, or St. Joseph Cathedral through the Rev.

Services, within two or more years, Billy will be laid to rest with his
mother at St. Roch Cemetery in New Orleans.
