Word has been received by cablegram of the death of Mr. J. P. Gueydan, in
France, where he was on a visit. Mr. Gueydan was the founder of the town of
Gueydan, owner of a large portion of the town site and much land in Vermilion
parish. He has done much to improve that parish, and his death is a loss to
Southwest Louisiana. -- Crowley Mirror.

Mr. Jean Pierre Gueydan, father of H. L. Gueydan, editor of the Gueydan News, died in
Paris last week. Mr. Gueydan was a very enterprising citizen and to him more than to
anyone else is due the development of the country around the town of Gueydan. Though
a native of France he had long since become thoroughly identified with this country
and its institutions.
