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 
21 Sept 1872, page 3, column 2 

"DIED, At her husband's residence, in Ouachita parish, on Tuesday, Sept. 10, 1872, 
Mrs. MARY ANN CANN, wife of Frederick H. Cann.  She was the only sister of Lt. Col. 
Sidney H. Griffin, of Union parish, who was equalled in ability, gallantry and faithfulness 
by few of that host of gallant officers, his comrades in the Lost Cause, and whose death, 
in battle at Vicksburg, carried sorrow to the hearts of a large circle of admiring and 
loving friends.  And now the sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Cann filles with sorrow 
and mourning the hearts of a large circle of loving friends, in Union, Ouachita and other 
parishes and falls, an immeasurable bereavement, upon the grief-stricken hearts of her 
children and husband.  "What shadows we are, what shadows we pursue." (Union Record copy.)"
