MR. ADOLPH Z. CHATELAIN died last Wednesday, at his home two miles from Mansura at the age of 83 years and 5 months. His funeral was held at Requiem High Mass, Thursday morning and his remains buried by the side of his wife and son in the Mansura Cemetery.
In the passing of Adolph "Zed" Chatelain, the parish lost a good and substantial citizen; a man of sterling qualities and upright character. He always stood for improvement and progress and had served a term on the Parish School Board.
In 1861 as a young man of 18, he enlisted as a soldier of the "Lost Cause" and served constantly and valiantly for three years and eight months. He served throughout the struggle in the Cavalry of the army of Tennessee and saw action at Murfreesboro Chicamauga and other historic engagements. Later in the war he was detailed as a member of the famous Morgan's men who raided and harassed the border states of Ohio and Indiana. These maurading parties struck many an effective blow for the cause of the Confederacy. When the war ended, his detail surrendered at Gamesville Georgia.
It is due to chronicle briefly his war career. It was his pride and the memory of the struggle and its many privations never ceased to inspire him and to broaden his viewpoint of life.
And on Confederate Memoral Day his body was consigned to earth. May his soul join those of his comrades who fell by his side in combat and forever enjoy the glory and reward prepared for them by the great Commander.
Peace to his ashes.
