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 
Friday, 20 April 1877, page 2, column 3 

"UNION. 
        We are pained to learn that Dr. L. Larche, an old and estimable citizen, died at 
his residence near Downsville, last week.  Dr. Larche was one of the pioneer settlers of 
this section of the State, and his upright course of life united with his other admirable 
qualities as a citizen, had endeared him to the people of his acquaintance.  He raised a 
large family of children who proved an honor to him in his declining years.  His demise has 
caused a feeling of depression throughout the entire community.  Requiescat in pace. - 
Record."
