1866 - 1883 UNION PARISH LOUISIANA OBITUARIES

These newspaper articles were abstracted by me from Louisiana newspapers available 
on microfilm at the Hill Memorial Library, Louisiana State University campus, 
Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I acknowledge that the research of Ms. Lori Peppers, 
Ouachita Parish Librarian, was helpful in compiling these early obituaries, 
as almost all of these obituaries come from Ouachita Parish newspapers 
(Union Parish has no extant newspapers from this era).

The Ouachita Telegraph 
Friday, 7 Nov 1879, page 3, column 1 

"Jack Overstreet, who murdered a man in Alabama about two years ago and fled to Louisiana, 
and who about two weeks ago murdered his wife in Union parish, was captured and given his 
just dues, "a short shrift and a long rope," at Farmerville, Wednesday night of last week.  
Judge Lynch presided."
