A large crowd was present for the service which was conducted by the Rev. Fr. 
Hubert Bordenave. Many beautiful flowers stood as evidence of the esteem in

in both local and state politics. He was an ardent supporter of the present 
state administration and was a personal friend of Bolivar E. Kemp, attorney 
general.

all of Bogalusa. The children are Mrs. M. C. Rester, Mrs. J. T. Drummond,
