Silvan Maurice BABIN

One of the oldest residents of this section passed to his eternal reward last 
Friday when Mr. Silvan Maurice BABIN breathed his last at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. Francois LABIT of Bayou Blue.
Mr. BABIN had reached the advanced age of 95 years but retained his health and 
vigor til a few days prior to his death.  Mr. BABIN's friends and relatives can 
scarcely realize that the venerable patriarchal figure will no longer be a part 
of their local gatherings.
Funeral services were held Saturday morning at nine o'clock at St. Francis de 
Sales Church in Houma.  Rev. J. P. JANSSEN officiated at the solemn requiem high 
Mass assisted by the altar boys, Donald HEBERT, J. M. LAPEYRE, E. LAPEYRE and 
Fred SERPAS.  Music and singing were rendered by the St. Francis de Sales choir.
Practically the entire population of the lower Bayou Blue besides numerous 
friends from Houma attended the last rites and accompanied Mr. BABIN's remains 
to its last resting place in the family tomb.
The deceased was the father of ten children, only six of whom survive him, 
namely, Mrs. H. PITRE, Mrs. F. BERGERON, Mrs. F. LABIT, Mrs. N. THIBODAUX, Mr. 
Z. BABIN and Mr. Valerie BABIN.
