We regret to learn of the death of Mr. A. J. Sevier, Sr., of Madison parish, which occurred at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. J. S. Agee, in Tallulah, in Tuesday evening.
Mr. Sevier was born in Port Gibson, Miss., in 1845 [sic 1844], and was therefore 71 years of age. His parents were Dr. Geo. W. Sevier and Miss Sarah Knob [sic Knox]. Dr. Sevier was a prominent practitioner in Claiborne county for many years.
At the out-break of hostilities between the States, deceased was among the first from his State to join the Confederate Army and made a gallant soldier. About 1876 Mr. Sevier came to Louisiana and located in Madison parish, where he has resided continuously, devoting his talents and energies principally to cotton planting and was for years one of the largest and most successful planters of his parish.
In 1865 Mr. Sevier was married to his childhood sweetheart, Miss Columbia Dobyns of Jefferson county, Miss. This union was blessed with a large family, of whom five daughters and one son survive. They are: Mrs. C. S. Utz of Hazelhurst [sic Hazlehurst], Miss., Mrs. Fred Young of Vicksburg, Mrs. J. S. Agee of Tallulah, Mrs. W. J. Ward of St. Joseph, Mrs. A. C. Williamson of Readland, Ark., and Mr. A. J. Sevier, Jr., of Tallulah.
Mr. Sevier was a good man and strong character and lived a useful and honorable life. Stricken in his last years with paralysis he was tenderly nursed and cared for by his children, his daughter, Mrs. Agee, unselfishly devoting herself entirely to his comfort. He was well known throughout North Louisiana and had hosts of friends who will learn of his death with regret.
In common with their many friends, the Gazette extends sympathy to the family in their grief.
