On Tuesday morning April 27, 1886, after a long and painful illness, George M. 
Eldredge, Esq.; representavive [sic] from this parish, quietly passed away at 
his home, about 6 miles from town. He was a man of firm integrity, spotless 
honor, and strong convictions. So highly impressed were our people with his 
mental and moral merit that they chose him (much against his own inclinations 
and despite his advancing years.) by an overwhelming majority to represent them 
in the legislature. Here he soon made his mark. In his death his family has lost 
a loving parent, his friends a prudent counselor, the parish an honored citizen 
and a wise and faithful official. His funeral which took place Wednesday at the 
Masonic Cemetery, and was well attended notwithstanding the forbidding aspect of 
the weather. Peace to his ashes.
