Morgan City Review On Thursday,
May 18th, that esteemed and honored
citizen Of Terrebonne, Mr.. A. W. Shatfer
celebrated his cighty-slxth birthday.
He was one Of the first white settlers
in Terrebonne, coming here in 1880, and
since then has been identified with the
advancement and growth Of that sue
cessful parish. TO his honesty and bu-
siness tact, his fortune is due, and to
his correct mode Of life in that whole
some parish of Terrebonne, does he now
owe the reward Of present hale and hear
ty old age. Mr.. Schaffer has three sons
and two daughters living, who in turn
have added intellectual and refined
members to Southern society. 2

days ago by the sheriff who discovered
his camp in the woods and surrounded
it at night. Stephens would not sur
render, and was killed in attempting TO
force his way through the guards. HIS
wife also was unfortunately shot
