Death, Last Saturday, of WILLIAM C. MC CULLA

  Friends and acquaintances of the Frank C. McCulla family in Thibodaux leaned 
with sorrow of the death of William C. McCulla, a member of that family passing 
away last Saturday at 9 o;clock p.m., he having reached the age of 76 years and 
7 months.
  The funeral took place Monday forenoon at St. Joseph's Catholic Church the 
body of the deceased being accompanied by Rev. James Rodrigue from the Landry's 
funeral hone to St. Joseph's Catholic Church, where a solemn requiem mass was 
offered in behalf of the deceased, the celebrant of the mass being the Rt. Rev. 
Msgr. A. F. Ravoire, while the deacon was the Rev. James Rodrigue, with the Rev. 
Emile Fossier as the sub-deacon, there being a number of friends of the McCulla 
family in church to attend the ceremony and pray for the repose of the departed 
citizen, who had reached the age of 76 years.  The funeral cortege was 
accompanied from the church to St. Joseph cemetery by the Rev. James Rodrigue 
who offered the last prayers at the grave.
  Thus ended the life of a man who had very little contact with the local 
public, he being from childhood a retiring sort of person.  The Comet editor 
knew the deceased when he was a young boy, of possibly six years of age, it so 
happening that we lived, for a few months in a house adjoining the home of the 
deceased, so he and the Comet editor were chums while neighbors and thus in 
close contact, but our parents, who had not long been residents of Thibodaux, 
decided to buy a property down St. Charles street, not far from what is now the 
Stark ball park, but in those days it was the Chivers family home property.  
After moving to the St. Charles property we had little contact with the 
deceased, but we remained good friends for the balance of his life, which he 
spent practically in retirement, or altogether at his home, 422 East First 
street, in Thibodaux.
  The deceased had three brothers - John, Frank and Thomas, but two of them 
preceded him to the grave, he thus leaving but one brother, Mr. Thomas McCulla, 
to lament the end of the deceased's life.  We sincerely hope that his soul has 
gone to a place of eternal happiness.
