Lucien D. Coco

It was our mournful duty to carry to the grave on last Monday the remains of our aged friend whose name heads this feeble tribute. The oldest of a large, influential and wealthy family of this parish and having lived continuously in our midst, he was known to everyone. Eldest son of a noble father, who transmitted to him those correct habits of life, that purity of mind and that courageous devotion to strictly honest habits it is no wonder that his career has been one of rapid success. Frugal, temperate, energetic he amassed a large fortune which he handled judiciously. The cold exterior of Lucien D. Coco was not a correct reflex of his warm heart, and his death will disclose that his acts of assistance and charity were numerous. We knew him well; we liked him; he was our friend. Twelve years ago when we were but a boy he befriended us, and we say it with pride we retained his friendship to the day of his death.
I his death a happy and peaceful home is made desolate. A widow and six orphaned children will weep over the wound that contains that which was dearest to them, and memory must fill the void created by his demise. He has lived a life of purity, industry and economy and he has died the death of a good man. The living should not regret the dead; tears may assuage the pangs of the bleeding heart, yet we must remember that in Christ is our faith and in prayer our sweet consolation.
We extend t the bereaved our sincere condolence.
