D1ED-In Opelousas, on Thurs
day, Sept. 29, 1904, Charles Pef-
ferkorn, aged 81 years, 6 months
and Is days.
"Charley" was born and reared
in Opelousas, followed the paint
ing and baking business for a liv-
ing, both of which trades were
injurious to his health, resulting
in his having several attacks of
hemorrhage of the lungs, culml-
mating in his death in the prime
of life.
"Charley" always strived to do right;
To win In life's battle made brave hight;
This he undertook with all his might,
And made the shady side look bright.
He was ever ready the poor to serve;
Never from duty's path did sWerVe;
But his light went out upon this eartn,
To shine again in celestial birth.
Since from earth he has departed,
His relatives are brOken-hearted;
But Father Time will make amends
When he to us his messenger sends.
