He was loving son. a true patriot. brave SOL
der. staunch friend. n useful citizen. kind

a generous friend and faithful soldier in camp.
Though suffering from injuries received dur
ing the war he ceaselessly tolled when peace
returned as q citizen for the maintenance Of
his family. On the memorable four
teenth OF September. 1874. and on the
most among the defenders of the liberties
Of Louisiana. At the time OF his death he was
one Of the employees OF the Waterworks Com

which institution did homage to his memory by
following his body To the grave. By permission
from Mrs. Pritchard, president OF the Ladies'
Monumental Association he was buried in one
Of the vaults Of the Confederate monumen4, and
