[NANCY CHARLOTTE WRIGHT]

Mrs. Bergeron Taken by Death on February 20

Death claimed one of Houma?s most benevolent and best loved citizens at 10:10 
a.m. on February 20, at Terrebonne General Hospital, following an illness of 
several weeks duration.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, February 21 at 11:15 a.m. at St. Francis 
de Sales Catholic Church.  Interment was in the church cemetery.  Survivors are 
two sons, Ave Bergeron of Port Arthur, Texas, and Robert (Bob) Bergeron of 
Houma; two sisters Mrs. F. L. Barrios of New Orleans, Mrs. Florence Magill of 
San Antonio, Texas; two grandchildren, James Bergeron of Port Arthur, Frank 
Bergeron of Baton Rouge, two great grandsons, John Robert Bergeron and Jeff 
Bergeron of Baton Rouge. A grandson, John Bergeron, preceded her in death.

She was born in Gonzales and lived in Houma, for 60 years.  She was a widow of 
James B. Bergeron.  She came to Houma as a bride and lived at 924 East Main all 
of her life and was connected with the Excelsior Bakery.  She was one of the 
Courier?s first subscribers.

Mrs. Bergeron was well known here for a custom she started more than 30 years 
ago, that of giving townspeople palms from the garden of her home.

[Note: The obituary does not say that Mrs. Bergeron?s maiden name was Nancy 
Charlotte Wright.  She was the daughter of Abraham Wright and Mary Ann Callahan 
Wright of Gonzales, Louisiana.]
