St. John Clerk of Court and Pioneer in Public Life succumbs.
Edgard, La., Aug. 24.--This morning, at 1:30, passed away Hon. Zenon Millet, at the age of 72 years, the oldest man holding public office in St. John the Baptist Parish. His demise was caused by a stroke of apoplexy.
Of the pioneers in public life in the parish, he was born May 7, 1836. He was the son of Pierre Millet, a prominent sugar planter of his day. Mr Millet received his education in this parish. Immediately after leaving school at the early age of 18 years he entered the Recorder's office. This was in 1853. He has been identifed with that office ever since, excepting during the Federal occupany (sic), when all officers were removed by order of General Mower. In 1866 Mr Millet was appointed deputy clerk; in 1869 he was appointed deputy recorder, and in 1872 he was elected to the office of recorder, and was re-elected continuously until 1879, when the two offices of clerk of court and recorder were consolidated, which two offices Mr Millet had occupied up to his death. Besides being one of St. John the Baptist's honored citizens and one of the most popular man on the upper coast, Mr Millet has made one of the best clerks of court in the State of Louisiana.
Mr. Millet was first married to Elodie Montz, and of this union three sons, Alberic, Luc and Noe, and two daughters, Laura and Nina, were born. Mr. Millet married again in 1886, wedding Mrs Adele Rodrigue, and of this second wedlock one son, J. Ellis Millet, and two daughters, Adele and Annette, are left to mourn him. His loss is deeply deplored by a host of friends, both in and out of the parish. The funeral took place this evening at St. John the Baptist Church.
