H.P. LeBlanc, 55, Juror, Dies

Ward 2 Man Fatally Hurt in Auto Accident, Succumbs

Homer P. LeBlanc, 55 years old, member of the Rapides parish police jury from Ward 2, died at the United States Veterans Hospital, at 4 o'clock this morning, as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident, Monday afternoon.

The unfortunate man was injured, when the truck in which he was traveling, en route to his home in the Latanier community, skidded in loose gravel and turned over three times. He is said to have sustained internal injuries, his right lung having been crushed and he also sustained serious head bruises.

He was picked up and conveyed to his home, and his injuries were at first thought not to be serious, but his condition became worse early yesterday morning. An ambulance of Hixson Brothers was sent to his home and conveyed him to the Veterans' Hospital, where it was said, he was in a dying condition, but he lingered until this morning, when he succumbed to his injuries.

Mr. LeBlanc was a native of Lafayette, La., and was engaged in railroad work for many years, having been a conductor, on the old Louisiana railway and Navigation Company's Line. He was a Spanish-American War veteran.

When he retired from railroad work, he purchased a farm in the Latanier community, which he has operated, and where he has since resided.

He is survived by his wife, but they have no children. He also leave the following brothers and sisters: C.J. LeBlanc, Mrs. J.M. Doucet, Mrs. P.S. Landry and Mrs. Frank Daigle, all of Lafayette; Albert LeBlanc, of Port Arthur, Texas; Mrs. J.W. Tanner, Roanoke, La.

Four years ago, Mr. LeBlanc ran for police juror of his ward, and was elected. He has served in that capacity since and was a candidate for reelection in the January primary. He was one of the leading members of the police jury, and always participated in the debates which took place at the various recurring sessions of that body. He was a man of pleasing personality, and has a large circle of friends, who will regret his untimely passing.

His body was prepared for burial by Hixson Bros., local funeral directors, and conveyed to his home at Latanier, where it will remain until 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, when it will be conveyed to Shreveport for interment. Services will be conducted at the Roll Osborn Funeral Home in Shreveport, by Rev. B.F. Wallace, Baptist minister of that city after which interment will be made in Greenwood Cemetery in Shreveport, under the direction of Roll Osborn, funeral director of Shreveport.

He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and the officers and members of Caddo Lodge, F. and A.M., of Shreveport, will attend in a body and conduct the Masonic services at the grave.

Mr. Clet LeBlanc, Jr., aged 46 years, died at his home in Lafayette last Wednesday night after a long illness. His remains were interred in the cemetery at Broussard the following day.

Mr. LeBlanc was a resident of the fourth ward up to a few months ago when he moved to Lafayette with his family.
