Rev. George Cameron, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church, will officiate. Interment will be in Magnolia cemetery. Capt.

Surviving are seven sons, Albert of Port Neches, George of Vidor and Battis, Frank, Archie, James and Paul Carre, all of Beaumont; three daughters, Mrs. Lillie St. Aubin of Beaumont, Mrs. Marie Moore of Galveston and Miss Cleofine Carre of Vidor, and a stepdaughter, Mrs. Neal Carr of Beaumont, and 14 grandchildren. Pallbearers have been designated as Sam Thiebdeaux, Charley Tiche, F.M. Beaumont, Paul Costaramone, August Snider and Tom Sheffield. Neal Carr, C. Anclet, John Barker and Joe Choates have been designated honorary pallbearers.
