Monroe, Ouachita Parish, Louisiana March 10, 1883 Page 3; Column 2 Lloyd Walter Surghnor. The death of L. W. Surghnor, on Monday, though not unexpected, was an event sincerely deplored by our entire community. "Poor Surgh" with his intimates, "Ain't you sorry for Mr. Surghnor?" with th elittle people were the frequent vocal offerings of kind hearts to the dead man's worth and memory. LLOYD WALTER SURGHNOR was born at Leesburg, Va., September 12, 1833. Here he spent his youth, leaving there at early manhood for Washington City where he found lucrative employment in one of the principal dry goods establishments on Pennsylvania avenue. Glowing accounts from Texas induced him to quit Washington and seek fortune in that State where he was living at the beginning of the late war. He entered the army from Texas and engagements in the Trans-Mississippi department. At the close of the war, our deceased friend came to Monroe with his family, where he has been successively engaged in keeping hotel, merchandising, or in the discharge of fiduciary trusts in which capacity he possessed the unlimited confidence of all who knew him. He held the office of City Weighter, a municipal office, but one of great responsibility and cares, at the time of his death, having, only a few days before, resigned the more responsible office of Treasurer for the Parish, that his accounts might be settled before that final settlement which he realized was surely, surely approaching and not far away. Our dead friend, left the army, never strong, physically broken up, and few who saw then saw him dreamed he would have survived a twelve months; but a new lease was secured and new hopes and brighter prospects added eighteen years more of life. At length, some few months ago, the Destroyer approached, taking his victim literally by the throat. The attack was manfully resisted by the assailed and the best medical skill, but only to prolong the struggle and to result in the mournful dirge and alow narrow bed down under the violets and green grass. And much of manliness, and honesty and bigness of heart went out of the poor, emaciated, long-suffering body that lies there this bright early Spring morning. Farewell, "puire body," may you rest ever more in peace and sunshine, rewards meet for alife devoted to the happiness and good of others. In 1857, Mr. Surghnor was married to Miss Mattie F. Joiner, a highly accomplished young lady, her father then living in Texas, but subsequently removing to this city where he died, his widow, Mrs. Joiner, still surviving, a highly esteemed resident of this city. The wife and four children-a young man and three sisters-are left to watch in vain for the coming home of the thoughtful husband and kind, indulgent father. All the business houses of the city were closed as a token of respect for his memory, solemn religious services were had at the Methodist church under the ministration of the Rev. Mr. White in presence of as many mourners as the building could seat, among them the ministers of all the Protestant churches and the remains were interred with Masonic and Pythian honors, aided by the Fire department, of all of which organizations the deceased was a worthy, beloved member. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Monroe Bulletin Wednesday, March 7, 1883 Page 3, Column 1 Mr. L.W. Surghnor, an estimable gentleman, died from an affection of the throat Monday morning. He was buried Tuesday with Masonic honors, the Knights of Pythias and Ouachita Fire Company also participating in the last sad rites. He leaves a large family. His intense and protracted sufferings were borne with great patience and resignation. Deceased was for a short time clerk of the District Court, and only resigned as Parish Treasurer two weeks ago. In his official capacities he was competent and honest. As a citizen he pursued his way making friends. All the business men in the city closed their doors during the funeral. Mr. Surghnor was only 49 years old.
