"Troupe Wafer, colored, died last Sunday morning. During the week previous to his death, he lost three grown children. Troupe was a good citizen and by his industrious and frugal habits had accumulated considerable property. Since writing the above, we learn that another of Troupe's children died Monday last and that two others are dangerously sick."
NOTE: Numerous cemeteries in North LA have areas at side or back, and usually fenced off, for colored burials. These may or may not have a separate name.
