[Joseph P. Coulon obituary from [New
Orleans] Picayune, June 27, 1875 -- It will be with
sentiments of profound regret that our community learns of the death of Mr.
Joseph P. Coulon. He died last Sunday morning a 5 o'clock at Rock Alum Springs,
Virginia where he had gone hoping to find relief from the debility from which he
suffered. Deeming himself not ill enough to cause any alarm, he left with a pack
of business friends, taking with him no immediate member of his family. The
parting with his children on the threshold of his own home was destined to be
the last forever. They were never to look upon his face again. His body reached
the city on Thursday's night train, and on Friday evening at 5 o'clock he was
laid to rest in Girod Cemetery. The many tears which were shed during the
impressive ceremonies at St. Paul's Church, the large attendance, the long line
of carriages, and the many friends who followed on foot to the grave, bore
testimony to the respect in which Mr. Coulon was held by his fellow citizens.
The deceased had been a resident of New Orleans for more than forty years.
During that time he always occupied the position of a prominent business man,
deserving and possessed of the esteem of all who knew him. He was a man of
sterling worth, distinguished for his keen sense of humor, high toned integrity,
and firm principles. His manners were those of the old school, and marked with
refined dignity and almost punctilious courtesy. In early life he had traveled
much and had acquired a knowledge of the people and customs of many countries.
Habits of observation and reflection, combined with quick intelligence, had
enabled him to treasure up mental records of these early journeys, which made
his conversation upon such topics always instructive and entertaining. He
married, after settling in New Orleans, the daughter of Hon. Stephen Van Wickle,
of Pointe Coupee. This estimable lade died some nine years since, and her loss
was one, which, to the bereaved husband, the lapse of time made only more keenly
felt. Domestic in his tastes--with a profound sense of duty--and devoted to his
home and his children, he won a filial affection as strong and deep as ever
blessed the life of man, and at the ripe age of three score years and ten he has
gone down to the grave deeply mourned by his sons and daughters, and regretted
by many warm and attached friends."
Children: Stephen^8 Cottrel Coulon, b. 7
March 1850, Louisiana and d. 22 Jan 1895; Andrew^8
Stoddard Coulon, b. 1851, Louisiana (died 6 April 1857 in childhood);
Adeline^8 Sarah "Addie" Coulon, b. 1854, Louisiana
and d. 1940. She married Lee E. Hooper (b. 1852, d. 1941) and they had at least
two children, Adeline Hooper (1888-1988) and Stephen C. Hooper (29 July 1892-17
July 1912); Joseph^8 Paul Coulon, b. 1856,
Louisiana and d. 1948. After 1880, for reasons unknown, he changed his surname
to Cottrell, his grandmother's maiden name. He then in turn named his only son,
Josoph Paul Cottrell, Jr. [1888-after 1918]; Elise^8 LeDoux Coulon, b.
1860, Louisiana and d. 1944. She married Wm G. Brothers;
