Dossier, 1866 December

Several days ago a funeral service was held for Father Stephen Rousselon, vicar general of New Orleans, Third Order of St. Francis, and former director of the little seminary. Bishop Francis Marie de Charbonnel said in his eulogy that he had never known a better priest. A great number of former students of the Seminary attended as well as the family of the deceased. Rousselon had come several times for a rest with his family. On his return to America he was the victim of an unfortunate accident and he died in a hospital in New York from where his remains were taken to New Orleans where funeral services were held with great solemnity.
