He early manifested a desire to follow
his fathers professionalism Of medf-
cine and attended the Medical Depart
ment of Tulane university and tho
Galveston Medical College, graduating
with honors from the latter institution
in 1881. He first practiced at Grand

several years. From there DR.. Read

wife and four sons survive to mourn his
loss.
For several years prior tohis death,
he had discontinued active practice,
perferring to devote his time and
energy to his extensive rice interest, as
he was one Of the largest and most
successful planters in Mamou.
His death occurred after a lingering
and painful attack Of gastric trouble
his wife being critically i'll at the time
with the same complaint. He wax
inferred on the morning of the 3rd inst.
in the family burial ground near

large family connections throughout

Possessed of a keen intellect. a
sympathetic insight and an upright
character, DIR. Read made many
friends, alfof whom grieye to know
