Death of Judge Garrigues.
After a few hours of painful illness, Judge Adolphe Garrigues breathed his last at 7 o'clock a. m., on Wednesday the 25th inst.; aged 76 years, 11 months and 20 days. So rapid was the fell disease that took him off, that none of his children who lived out of town had time to reach his beside before he was dead.
Judge Garrigues was the last male representative of the name of one of the oldest and most distinguished creole families of St. Landry parish, being the only son of the late Gen. Garrigues de Flaujac who came from France three quarters of a century ago to make this his home. He leaves, however, a number of children, grand-children, and maternal relatives; and his aged and beloved wife, although an invalid for years, still survives him.
In his death, St. Landry parish has lost another of her honored old landmarks which connect her present history with a past generation. He was educated in Paris, and afterwards read law, was admitted to the bar as attorney, and began a public life which made him a conspicuous and popular man to the hour of his death.
Almost fifty years ago, Judge Garrigues began public life, by being elected Probate Judge, which office he filled for a series of terms covering many years; then Clerk of the District Court which he filled for a great many years; then Parish Judge, and then Collector of Taxes for a number of years, of which office he was the incumbent at the hour of his death. During his prolonged official career he fulfilled the duties of the trusts reposed in him by his fellow-citizens with a promptitude, efficiency, urbanity, and fidelity that made him an idol of his creole friends, and the highly esteemed public servant of the whole people. In all the political vicissitudes of our parish for the past half century, in all the acrimony and bitterness of party contests for office in the various elections of the past, Judge Garrigues' public life was so wholly unassailable, so unsullied, so commendable, that the voice of all political slander was hushed by the eloquent record of the man, and his opponents delighted to do honor to a name so pure and honorable in its services to the people.
In his private relations he was equally noted for the geniality and sociability of his disposition, the frankness of his manners and generosity of his nature. He was generous to the extreme, and his charity was as boundless as his soul was noble.
He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a sincere friend, an affable acquaintance, and a model citizen. Yet he was undemonstrative in his attachments, and proclaimed his sunny and kindly nature by his many noble and generous deeds to his fellow creatures. This feeble tribute to his many virtues will not be deemed foolish panegyric by the hundreds that knew him, because "the deeds he has left behind him" will speak a more eloquent praise than we can utter for him.
The death of Judge Adolphe Garrigues leaves a painful void in our parish, whether at the grief stricken household of the old home and in the hearts of his children, but his aged and esteemed face, ever beaming with generous impulses, will be missed from his office, from the circle of intimate friends, nay from the whole populace of St. Landry.
An immense concourse of citizens followed his remains to the grave where he was buried under the impressive ceremonies of the Catholic Church.
The venerable old citizen now rests from his labors. Peace to his ashes.
