Mr. Marrero had been ill for
some time, but his condition did
not become alarming until the
beginning of last week. He was
taken to Hotel Dieu, where it
was decided Immediately that an
operation was necessary. His
was an aggravated case of ap-
peudicitis, and though at first he
seemed to rally from the opera
ton, his strength soon began to
ebb gradually until he he was
beyond medical aid. Members of
his family surrounded his bed as
he died.
Louis Herman Marrero, Jr.,
was the youngest son Of Sheriff
Marrero, of Jefferson parish, and
the late Elodie Marrero. He was
born Nov. 9, 1875, in st. Bernard
parish. but five years later he
moved with his parents to Jeffer
son parish, in which he resided
for the rest of his life. He receiv |
ed his elementary education in
the New Orleans public schools, |
and after graduating from the
high school he entered the acade !
mic department OF Tulane Uni
versity. He later attended the Law |
department of Tulane, from
which he was graduated in 1899. |
Conduct In Campaign
Wins Admiration.
He was elected to his first
political office, membership IN
the legislature, in 1900, and was
reelected two years later. Dur
ing both terms he distinguished i
himself as an active worker for
the interests of his parish. Hel
was elected to the district attor- !
of the Twenty-eighth |
Judicial District in 1904, and his !
execution of the duties of that
office gained for him, four years
later, reelection without opposi-
ton. Heagain was reelected in
1912, after a most strenuous cam.
paign, in which he distinguished
himself as courageous fighter
of political battles aud an elo-
Quent stump speaker. Hiscon-
duct of that campaign won for
him the admiration of some of
his most ardent opponents.
In November last he again was re
elected without opposition either
in the primary or general elec-
tions. He had not yet qualified
for the new term, but had ex-
pected to do 50 this week when
commissions of the officials elec-
ted recently probably will bere-
ceived from the commissioners.
His death thus causes a vacancy
which viii be filled BY an elec.
