Natchez Daily Free Trader [MS], February 15, 1860
The Reinterments of the Dead of Tensas. Yesterday many of our citizens, who were not apprised of the circumstance, were surprised at seeing the hearse proceeding so many times through our streets to the “Natchez City of the Silent.” They were the remains of persons who had died during the past summer and autumn in the Parish of Tensas, Louisiana, whose family tombs were in Natchez. The reinterment very properly took place in a winter month; the friends of the deceased having agreed on the same day. They now sleep beside the loved ones whose loss they once mourned.
