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).

In Memoriam. OUACHITA CITY, LA., NAPOLEON LODGE No. 94, Nov. 8, 1873. 
"The will of God is accomplished: so mote it be." WHEREAS, In the dispensation of an 
allwise Providence it hath seemed fit that He should take unto Himself the soul of our 
deceased W.M., Bro. Hy. Bartlett; Be it Resolved, That in the death of W. Bro. Bartlett 
in whose hand the gavel will call up the Lodge no more forever; "Masonry has been called 
upon to give unto Him 'Who made and who taketh away one of our brightest jewels.'"  
Resolved, That in this sad bereavement we tender our heartfelt sympathies to his family, 
who have sustained this severe affliction in the loss of a kind and dutiful father and 
affectionate husband.  Resolved, That the station in the East be draped in mourning and 
the Brethren wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.  Resolved, That a page of 
the minute book be dedicated to his memory. That the Secretary furnish a copy of these 
resolutions to the family of the deceased and to the OUACHITA TELEGRAPH, Union Record, and 
N.L. Republican for publication.
