We are called upon this week to record the death of an aged and respectable
citizen and a soldier in the war with Great Britain. Major Peter Gordon
Voorhies departed this life at his residence on Red River, at 1 o'clock p. m.
on Thursday the 10th [?], aged 79 years and 5 days. He was born in Trenton,
New Jersey, and in 1790 emigrated to Frankfort, Kentucky, where he married.
Upon the first call for volunteers in 1812, he took up arms in defence of his
country, and was with Gen. Harrison during his whole campaign and acquitted
himself with honor. In 1821, he emigrated to Red River, and has ever since
continued to reside here.
Major Voorhies had nineteen children, eight of whom are living. They and their
progeny, together with a large number of friends and acquaintances, will long
revere his memory as a man that was possessed of many of the noblest traits of
character that are implanted in the human heart.

Thornbull of Rapides Parish was found in her room at home with two ugly wounds
in her breast. Near her body was a. shotgun and a note saying that she had
grown tired of living a lonesome life. Oct 31, 1908 San Antonio Gazette
Frineds of the Lamar family in Texas and all
members of the Daughters of, the Texas Republic have heard of the passing of
the niece of Mirabeau B. Lamar, second president of the Texas republic, Mrs.
William Polk of New Orleans. The woman's column In the Times-Democrat gives a
sketch of this well-known woman. Excerpts from .this read: "The passing:
of Mrs. William Polk, recalls with strong regret many associations In the
cultured life of this state, of which she was formerly a prominent feature.
From the stately and aristocratic home of the Lamars In Lumpkin, Stewart
County, Ga., where she was born, She removed in her early youth to the home of
a relative, Hon. Absolomn Chapman, the great lawyer and scholar. In Macon,
whence she was married to Col. William Polk. Lucius M. Lamar, speaker of the
Georgia House for many years, was her brother. She was a-niece of Mirabeau B.
Lamar, the second president of the Republic of Texas. and a first cousin of L.
Q. C. Lamar of Mississippi. On both sides Rebecca Evalina Lamar, the only
daughter of Jefferson and Rebecca Lamar, was descended from the Lamar strain,
a name that carried. great prestige always in Southern history. Her marriage
brought her to Louisiana a bride, and the greater part of her life was spent
on her Ashton plantation, In Rapides Parish, Withdrawn for the most part Into
the quiet of the country, she knew well the legends of Rapides Parish, and, a
brilliant talker, would entrance her guests with the beautiful stories of that
romantic country. She will long be — remembered by all who came within her
influence for steadfast consistency, dignity of character and tenderness of
heart; these characteristics had earned for her among jntimates the graceful
title of Madame Precious.' Tuesday March 16, 1909 Galveston Daily
