FORMER EARLE MAN MEETS TRAGIC DEATH.
S. R. Montcalm, of Bonita, La., Struck by Train. Burial in Gibson Bayou Cemetery.
S. R. Montcalm, 85, of Bonita, La., met a tragic death last Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 3, when he was struck by a fast moving passenger train. Death was instantaneous. Mr. Montcalm, whose hearing was impaired, had just left his home to walk up town, and as was his custom, he walked down the railroad right-of-way. He had just crossed a cattle guard when the train, traveling at great speed, approached him from the rear, and despite the warning cries from his wife and several other witnesses, he failed to hear the train in time to get out of its path.
Mr. Montcalm, who was of French parentage, was born at sea. He moved to Earle 40 years ago when this territory was almost a virgin forest, and lived here continually for 50 years, operating a blacksmith and wood-working shop. He was a very successful business man, and through his kindness, fair dealings and cheerful disposition made hundreds of staunch friends in this community who were both shocked and grieved at his untimely passing.
He was a Christian man, his faith being manifested by a wholesome respect for religion in situations and a profound reverence for his Lord. Mr. Montcalm had been living in Bonita, La., for the past ten years and when he heard of the murder of his friend and co-worker of former years, Mr. E. L. Byrn, which sad event occurred several weeks ago, he requested that he be buried beside him at Gibson Bayou Cemetery in this city when his days on earth were ended.
The request is being granted and interment will be at Gibson Bayou. Funeral services are incomplete as we go to press, awaiting the arrival of his oldest son, Rector, who is on his way here from New Jersey. Besides his widow, who has been a devoted wife for 49 years, he leaves three sons, Raul, of Bastrop, La.; Ravel, of Bonita, La., and Rector, of New Jersey.
The Enterprise joins a host of friends in offering heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.
