Obituary

Died in this Parish, at the residence of Mrs. Alexander Barrow, on Sunday the 
16th instant, Maj. WILLIE MICAJAH BARROW, in the 42d year of his age.  He was 
a native of Tennessee, and emigrated to Bayou Sara in 1834.  In 1848 he 
purchased a plantation in West Baton Rouge, since which time he has been one 
of our most active, energetic and prominent citizens.  It is seldom that a 
community is called on to mourn the loss of a better man than Maj. Barrow.  In 
all his various relations to society, as a father, brother, husband, and 
friend, he was a kind, affectionate, devoted and sincere friend.  He was kind, 
affectionate, devoted and sincere.  His social qualities were of the highest 
order, and many a warm-hearted friend will shed a tear while reading this 
small tribute of respect to his memory.  Maj. Barrow belonged to the class of 
persons who enjoy life in its fullest sense, and drew closely around him 
friends who will hallow his memory as long as time shall last.  His person was 
large, his bearing noble, his soul warm, and his disposition amiable and 
kind.  In the recent ravages of Death, the fell destroyer has taken away many 
of our best citizens, but, in this instance, he has robbed us of one whose 
place cannot be easily filled.  While we mourn his loss, all we can do is to 
emulate his virtues and cherish his memory.  He leaves behind him three orphan 
children, whose mother died years ago.  That a kind Providence, who “tempers 
the wind to the shorn lamb,” will guide and guard these sorrowing children, is 
the prayer of all who knew their worthy and lamented father.

H.W.A.
