LUCKETT.-
Dr. Robert L. Luckett died at his residence near Boyce, in this parish, at 1 o'clock last Wednesday, April 24th 1895, after an illness of several weeks.
Dr. Luckett was born and raised in Rapides parish and was 57 years old at the time of his death. He was a successful physician, esteemed citizen and uncompromising Democrat, whose services were always at the command of his party and who assisted materially in the redemption of his Parish and State from the plundering horde of Northern vandals who took and held possession of it at the point of Federal bayonets during what is known as the reconstruction era.
He was United States Marshal for the Western District of Louisiana by appointment of President Cleveland and vindicated the wisdom of his selection by a faithful, zealous and capable discharge of the duties pertaining to the office.

Alexander of Jackson; Misses Marie and Lizzie, Sam F., Frank and George Luckett. Also a brother, Mr. Henry P.
