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).

"UNFORTUNATE FARMERVILLE.
But a few weeks ago a fire destroyed the largest dry goods store in
Farmerville.  Mr. Stein, the owner, is absent trying to compromise the
differences between him and the Underwriters before rebuilding.  The walls
were left standing, towering above contiguous buildings.  Saturday evening
last a tornado struck the town, the wall was blown down upon Glasson's
saloon completely demolishing it.  Five persons were in it.  H.C. Glasson
was killed, W.A. Darby had one leg broken and was otherwise seriously if not
fatally injured, Marion Shultz was badly hurt, Thomas Dawson was fearfully
bruised and F.Jones miraculously escaped unhurt."
