The remains of the late Thos. Naughton, Sr., whom we mentioned in our
edition of Saturday as having departed this life, were followed to their
last resting place yesterday by a large concourse of our citizens. His
remains were laid to rest in the Catholic Cemetery. Father Enaut paid a
glowing tribute to his memory from the pulpit. Thus one by one our old
citizens are leaving this mundane sphere, and, let us hope, that those
who have gone before have found the haven of rest on "that beautiful
shore," where we may all meet in the bye and bye.

DEATH OF CAPT. FRED A. BLANKS
N.O. Picayune March 6.
The sad intelligence of the death of Capt. Fred A. Blanks, which
occurred at 10:15 o'clock last night, will be received with profound
sorrow by all who knew him. The immediate cause of his death was
inflammatory rheumatism, with which he had been a sufferer for several
years. About ten days ago he was taken with an unusually severe attack
of the disease, and continued to grow worse daily, and on Thursday he
partly lost consciousness and remained in that condition until his
spirit took flight to the shore beyond.
Capt. Blanks was born in Lowndes county, Ala., in 1833, and at the age
of seven years came to this city with his father, sister and brothers.
After remaining here a short time the family removed to Columbia,
Caldwell parish, La., then a mere settlement, and Fred Blanks was placed
in a private school in the village to prepare himself for college. This
school he attended until he was about sixteen, when he was sent to the
Centenary College at Jackson, La., where he remained for three sessions.
Leaving college, he returned to Columbia, and went into the mercantile
business with his father Mr. R.A. Blanks, in which he continued up to
the breaking out of the war, when he enlisted in the Twelfth Louisiana
Regiment, and was appointed First Lieutenant of the Caldwell Invincibles
(sic). He served as a soldier with credit to himself and his company
for one year, and then resigned and returned to his home in Columbia,
where he was made enrolling officer for the parish.
He was afterwards elected to the Legislature, and made a most faithful
representative of the people of Caldwell parish.
At the close of the war he again entered the merchantile (sic) business
in Columbia, and continued in it until 1867. In that year he commenced
his steamboat life by purchasing an interest in the steamer Ouachita
Belle from his brother, Capt. J. W. Blanks, who had been on the river
for several years.
Capt. Blanks succeeded as a steamboatman from the start, and during his
career as such made quite a snug fortune. He obtained his first license
as captain in 1871, and afterwards comanded the steamers Ouachita Belle,
Idaho, Tallaquah, Lottawana, Ruth, Vicksburg, Bannock City, Bastrop,
Fred. A. Blanks, H. Hanna Blanks, John H. Hanna, and a number of others.
Of a majority of the above named boats he was the principal owner.
About twelve years ago the Ouachita River Line was formed with Capt.
J.W. Blanks as President, and the following year Capt. Fred A. Blanks
was elected as its head. Following the Ouachita River Consolidated Line
about five years ago. Capt. Fred Blanks, was also elected President of
this concern and held the position up to the time of his death. Capt.
Blanks married when about 20 years of age, the lady of his choice being
Miss Zenobia Oliver, a stepdaughter of Mr. N. M. Davis, a Baptist
minister of Memphis. To them one child was born, but died at the age of
four years.
The deceased had been a resident of this city for a number of years,
and being of liberal views, was ever ready to lend his assistance in
improvements which were for the public good. He was always noted for
his sterling qualities and acts of charity, and his loss will not only
be mourned by his family and friends in this city, but by the people of
the entire Ouachita Valley.

His benevolence and unselfishness may be inferred from the fact that he
adopted at different times eleven children, all of whom are now of age
except three-two boys and a girl, the eldest being 14 years old.
No man was more universally beloved and respected than "Capt. Fred," as
he was famillarly (sic) called, and his memory will long live in the
heart of those who knew him. The deceased was a Master Mason in good
standing.
He leaves a wife, the children above named and two brothers.
