"Mr. Charles A. Mouton died at his home near this town, Thursday night at the age of 53 years and 5 months.

Mr. Mouton was a native of Lafayette. With the exception of the time he served in the Confederate army and some years spent in the North the deceased lived here all his life. When the Civil war broke out he was attending St. Charles College and though a mere boy he left the class-room and joined the Southern army serving until the end of hostilities. Returning after the war to the home of his father, the late Gov. Alex Mouton, he subsequently took up the study of Law. He read law in the office of Jules Olivier, Esq., at Franklin, and under the tutelage of M. E. Girard, Esq., of this town. Being admitted as a member of the bar he practiced a number of years in the courts of this district attaining a fair measure of success. He was intellectually gifted and being a man of uncommonly fine address and pleasing carriage it is safe to say that had he remained longer in the legal profession he would have been more than ordinarily successful in his efforts at the bar. He was a fluent speaker, a good writer and always entertaining in conversation.

Being a tireless reader and possessing a very retentive memory he was conversant with the works of the best authors and it may be truly said of him that reading was "the lamp which lightened his path through the dreary wilderness of time."

Mr. Mouton was an honest, truthful man. A sincerer friend never lived. His friendship was unselfish. Kindness was a predominant trait in his nature, for all who knew him well will attest that it was not his way to be unkind to any one. Big-hearted, charitable, upright in his dealings with all men, Charley Mouton had much to be admired."
