1866 - 1883 UNION PARISH LOUISIANA OBITUARIES

These obituaries 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 
15 Nov 1866, page 2, column 1 
"We sympathize with our friend, Wesley Guthrie, Sheriff of Union parish, in 
the loss of the wife so lately taken to His bosom, and of whom it is said: 
"Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the 
gates." Alas! For the world there are not more wives whose works praise them 
in the gates! Fine bonnets, showy dresses and exquisite airs are common enough, 
but where are the works to which Solomon refers? "
