The body lay in state at the Ardoin Funeral Home until the hour set for the services. A large gathering of friends and relatives formed the funeral cortege which went from the Funeral home to the Church at the set hour. Rev. H. Lerschen officiated during the last rites, and in a brief address, spoke of the respect and esteem in which Mr. Clement was held by all who knew him. The remains were laid to rest in the family vault at St. Joseph's cemetery. Mr. Clement was a lifelong resident of this section, having been born and reared near Rayne. During his early manhood he farmed near town, later giving this up to move into town. He led a long and active public life, having served for twenty years as Deputy Sheriff of Acadia Parish. For fifteen years after that, he was Night Policeman of the Town of Rayne, and held an enviable record in solving robberies and crimes. His services were required in practically all cases in this community and his unusual ability in this line of work won much recognition for him during his long and useful period of work. He had been in ill health for some time and his death had been expected for several months. About six years ago, he suffered a paralytic stroke from which he never recovered, making him a helpless invalid for the remaining years of his life. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Odia Breaux Clement; five sons, Cleobule, Willie, Walter and Elphie of Rayne, and Anatole, Jr. of Lake Charles; and three daughters: Mrs. Elias Simon of Crowley, Mrs. Morris Henry and Mrs. Leland Clark of Lake Charles.

| 1546 | Obituary: G. Troy Summerlin July 27, 1933 - September 19, 2010 Troy Summerlin, age 77, of Victoria went to be with the Lord on September 19, 2010. He was born July 27, 1933 in Como, Texas, to the late James Oliver Summerlin and Sarah Artilla Pounds Summerlin. At the age of 8, his family moved to Shreveport, Louisiana, where he would attend school and graduate from Fairpark High School in 1952. Troy's father ran an ice route in Shreveport with Troy assisting him. After his father's death when Troy was 10 years old, he continued the business on his own. Troy was always active in sports, particularly football where his team would go to State during his last two years of high school. He played Center and was quite accomplished with his deep snap. His mother, a seamstress, raised him to be very honest, hardworking and diligent. Wanting the best education for her son, she insisted that he go to Texas A & M. Both his mother and Troy worked hard to make this happen. Troy's summers were spent working many jobs all over South Texas and Louisiana. While at Texas A & M, Troy had the opportunity to be part of the Texas A&M football team coached by Paul "Bear" Bryant. This same team would later be known as the "Junction Boys". He was also a member of the Corp and served as Company Commander of his unit. Upon graduation he received 2nd Lieutenant Commission with a degree in Architectural Construction. Upon graduating from A & M in 1957, Troy worked for Ceco Steel Forming Division in San Antonio and Houston. In 1965, he joined Don Krueger at Krueger Construction where he became a partner. In later years KGS Electric Company was formed. Troy served as President of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce, and actively supported the YMCA with fundraising and membership drives. Troy, along with Don Krueger, worked tirelessly to bring like-minded businesses together to form the Mid Coast Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors in 1982. Troy served as its first President in 1982 and 1983. Troy and Don were honored on January 14, 2010 and a Proclamation was signed reflecting this to be the Troy Summerlin and Don Krueger Day. Troy had the love of the outdoors and loved to plant oak trees for his many friends; one of his greatest joys was taking care of his home and his lawn and doing yard work until his last days. Troy taught Sunday school classes for many years at Baptist Temple Church and Northside Baptist Church and was heartbroken to have to give this up when he suffered a partial loss of his vision with his stroke in 2007. He subsequently retired after also developing throat cancer. Survivors include his wife, Molly Ralls Summerlin; daughters: Kristan Summerlin Ritchey and husband Patrick, Karen Summerlin Flowers and husband William, Kelly Summerlin Schleider and husband John, and son, Scott Blaine Summerlin, and grandchildren: Brynn Murphy Ritchey, Jackson Ross Flowers, John Dabbs Schleider, Jr., Benjamin Herman Schleider, IV and Sarah Annabelle Schleider. He is also survived by his three step daughters: Rhonda Boyd, Terri Bernhard, Jill Erskine and their families. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife, Nell Ross Summerlin, the mother of his children, and brothers: Eugene Summerlin, Arlen Summerlin and Merle Summerlin.

Born August 25, 1931, in the Bronx, New York, Gabriel was the son of the late Ashod (Archie) and Virginia Alvandian. He was known for his kindness, gentle spirit, intellect, generosity, and warm-hearted sense of humor. Gabriel is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Mary Robin Alvandian, sons Gabriel Alvandian Jr., Daniel Alvandian (Allison), and Gregory Alvandian (Catherine), brother Armand Alvandian (Shirley), and grandsons Alex Alvandian and Eric Alvandian. He was preceded in death by his sister Gloria Alvandian and brother Leon Alvandian. Gabriel graduated from New York University in 1952 with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and went on to earn a master's degree in the same field from Yale University in 1953. Following graduation, he briefly began his career as a consulting engineer before being drafted into the United States Army. A proud veteran, Gabriel served from 1953 to 1955, with deployments in Korea and Okinawa with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Following his military service, he worked with several construction firms as a designer, field engineer, and consultant, contributing to major bridge and skyscraper projects. In 1968 he cofounded Grid Building Company in Orange Connecticut where he dedicated himself to quality and integrity in construction until his retirement. He generously donated his time with the Cub Scouts and served as a Cub Scout pack leader for several years. He enjoyed attending concerts at Woolsey Hall, dining at the Graduate Club in New Haven with his wife and family, and gardening. He had a deep interest in military history, particularly the history of World War II. Gabriel was a passionate advocate for protecting and preserving West Haven's coastline and open spaces. He was active in the Land Trust of West Haven, serving as its president for a number of years. His efforts were instrumental in passing the historic Savin Rock Shorefront conservation easement, ensuring that the city's shorefront would remain protected from commercial development for generations to come.
