FUNERAL OF HON. M. CARRON.
Long Cortege Fallowed Remains Last Resting Place.
Relative to the funeral of Hon. Martin Carron, of Eunice, who did Monday and whose funeral was attended by Messrs. W. F. and G. H. Brooks and S. M. Hundley and their families of this city, the Eunice Gall says:
In the death of Mr. Carron it marks the passing away in the last few months of several of the old comrades in armies during the Confederate war, of this section, he was among the first of our young men to leave a lucrative position to join the ranks, and being a skilled mechanic, he enlisted in the Confederate navy and underwent some eventful trials during the career of the little craft on which he was enlisted, and after all troubles were over he came to St. Landry Parish where he had succeeded, by his energy and indomitable courage, to amass some little means that helped him fight his troubles through his last days when he was not able to do manual labor. Uncle Martin as he was called mostly throughout this vicinity was devoted to the welfare of the community and during his term as member of the town council we had no member who tried harder to advance our interest than he did.
His remains were interred in the Carron grave yard about three miles from town, Rev. Mr. Ford officiating. The funeral procession was one of the largest ever seen in this section as 71 vehicles formed in line at the last residence making a solid string of vehicles nearly three quarters of a mile long and which had augmented to nearly 100 vehicles by the time they reached the grave yard. He leaves besides a heart broken widow two daughters and a brother here in Eunice and numerous relatives scattered throughout this, Acadia and Calcasieu parishes, who are heart broken at being separated from him here, while his old comrades who have gone before will welcome him to the camping ground where trouble and cares are not known! and thus marks the departure of one more of the South's brave men for the land of eternity.
