Died.

On Sunday, December 18th, at
TO O'clock, at his residence on
Cane River, about four miles be-
low Cloutierville, in this Parish,
that grand old Patriarch, Mr..
Phillip Brosset, passed to his
final reward. He had been i'll
many years but would rally, re-
cuperate and be himself again,
however about a month ago his
condition rapidly grew worse and
for few days before his death,
his sufferings were intense but he
never complained and was resign
ed to his fate; and to his friends
and relatives who stood by his
bedside, he gave words of courage
and consolation.
Had he lived until April 18th,
1919 he would have reached his
Seventy-third birthday.
At the out break of the Civil
War, Mr.. BroSsett joined the 18th
Louisiana Infantry, serving
through the entire war. He was
severely wounded at the battle of
Shiloh and for some time his life
was dispaired of, but upon his re-
covery he rejoined his Company
and fought bravery until the end.
After the war he came home
and began life anew. In 1870 he
married Miss Rosa RACIAL, theirs
was indeed a happy union. His
beloved wife and six children
survive him; the Oldest being
Maria, wife of John Delouche,
Florence, wife of Willie Lacaze,
wife of L. A. Rachal and
John, Albert and Phillip Brossett,
Jr., and many grand children, all
living near his home and they
often gathered around his freside;
these family gatherings were
always a source of great joy and
For many years Mr.. Brossett
took an active part in the affairs
of the Parish and State, The
community always looked upon
him as its friend and his influence
was great. He was a leader III
his ward whom the people follow
ed because they knew that what
he advocated was from an honest
conviction and not with the hope of
in this his strength lay,
be was always active for a friend
but the purity of his actions no
man ever questioned. He led be-
cause he loved his people, he was
followed because the people loved
him.
There has gone from Ward 10,
4 true and loyal friend, an induI-
rent parent and d loving has-
0and. The entire community has
suffered great loss. He leaves
lis widow and children some
worldly property but their great
st heritage is his unsullied name
the remembrance of his noble
character will endure forever.
