DIED

	On Monday, May 18th, 1885, at his residence in Union parish, La., 
Williamson Bird, aged 72 years. 
	In the death of Mr. Bird our parish mourns the loss of one of its 
oldest, truest and most substantial citizens. He was a devout and zealous 
member of the M. E. Church, south, and has resided in the northern portion 
of our parish for more than thirty-five years, honored and loved by all who 
know him. The ADVOCATE deeply sympathizes with the bereaved relatives, and 
hopes that He, who doeth all things well, will alleviate the pangs of sorrow 
in contemplation of what is grief now, will become happiness at the thought 
of the beautiful resting of our sainted friend in the mansions of Heaven.
