4921	With the arrival of Jean Dufilho between the years of 1800 and 1803, the Dufilho family name had its beginnings in Louisiana. Jean Dufilho was married to Jeanne Marie Bonnet, both natives of Mirande, Gascony, France. It is believed that he was an apothecary and operated a small shop at 12 Rue de Toulouse in 1805.	Dufilho, Jean (I430)
4922	Witnesses: A. L. Hollier - Arthur Louis Hollier, Lilly Ann's grandfather. A. M. Hollier - Adolphe Marshall Hollier. Adolphe married Antoinia Dufilho, John Marie's sister. U. L. Hinckley - I think this may be Arthur L. Hinckley, Anna’s brother. It is possible the “U” was incorrectly transcribed. A. L. Hinckley appears as a witness on the marriage license I have from the court house. M. J. Dufilho - Maurice Joseph (Jean Marie’s brother) ‘Kidnapped,’ Says He After Fifty Years [Daily World (Opelousas, Louisiana), 19 March 1950, p. 4] John M. Dufilho figures today it turned out great, even though his wife “just kidnapped” him into marrying her 50 years ago. “I was at a dance,” Mr. Dufilho explained “standing around when all of a sudden a pink rose bud hit me on the chest. “That was the beginning of a different courtship and 50 years of married life.” Well-known and beloved Mr. and Mrs. Dufilho, who have spent the greater part of their life right here in Opelousas, are celebrating today their anniversary. TELLS ALL The operating part of this apparent conspiracy admits, that maybe there is something with a twinkle In her eye, to it. “I knew he was the one for me the first moment I saw him, and so I set my hat for him,” Mrs. Dufilho confides. He was 23 years old and she only 13 when the courtship began. “I thought she was just a little girl and didn’t know what she wanted, so I started being nice to her -taking her to dances and all,” he relates. WAS HE FOOLED He tried to be a guardian to her, introducing her to nice boys, and in reality, trying to find a man for her. But he didn’t know how set she was, until, he didn’t see her for one year WRITES HIS MOTHER Undaunted, the pretty dark-haired dark-eyed girl, wrote his mother. “That’s when I gave up my idea of wanting to be a bachelor and started, to my amazement, thinking that perhaps married life wouldn’t be too bad.” WED IN 1900 Their wedding was held in the Opelousas Catholic church on March 20. 1900. Mrs. Dufilho was the former Miss Catherine Ann Hinckley, and she had been born in Opelousas Mr. Dufilho. however was born in New Orleans and came to Opelousas in the year 1882, and it is considered a coincidence by the couple, for it was in this very year that Mrs. Dufilho was born. “IT WAS FAITH” “It was faith-he just had to come to me.” Mrs. Dufilho teased. as she smiled at her husband HAD 9 CHILDREN They had nine children, seven boys and two girls. One of their boys was killed at Pearl Harbor. Mrs. Dufilho on telling about her children, told of a very odd thing that has happened. Two of her children, the oldest and youngest have never seen each other. George, the oldest, went to California when he was about 29 years old; and the baby Gerald, was only a few months old. Since then, both have been busy and have never had a chance to visit each other. On this day. with their children, grandchildren (nine), and great-grandchildren (two); this scribe would like to take her hat off to them. MET LIFE BRAVELY They have met life bravely and hive received its reward of a happy life together. “We’ve always been very close to each other, sharing sorrow and joy alike; and to be truthful we have never stayed away from each other in vexation for even one-half hour, Mrs. Dufilho proudly said. CHILDREN Their children are: George Dufilho of California, Mrs. Havard Burleigh of Mississippi, John Dufilho, Mrs. Gayheart Shute of Houston. Tex., Louis, Eugene and Gerald Dufilho. John Dufilhos are Married 64 years [Daily World (Opelousas, Louisiana), 20 March 1964, p. 5] Mr. and Mrs. John Dufilho, 332 S. Lombard St., are today observing their 64th wedding anniversary. The couple was married March 20. 1000, at St. Landry Catholic Church In Opelousas. The couple will observe the day quietly because Mr. Dufilho has been ill with pneumonia. He was moved last night from St. Landry Clinic to his home so he and Mrs. Dufilho could spend their anniversary together at their home. Mr. and Mrs. Dufilho are the parents of six sons and two daughters -- Johnny Dufilho, Louis Dufilho, Peyton Dufilho and Gerald Dufilho all of Opelousas, George Dufilho of Narwalk [Norwalk], Calif., Mrs. Havard Burleigh and Eugene Dufilho, both of Clermont Harbor, Miss., and Mrs. H.

William Charles Hollier
December 14, 1933 - October 6, 2015
William Charles Hollier passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of October 6th, 2015 in Baton Rouge, La after a brief illness.

He was born December 14th, 1933 in Opelousas, La and lived in Lafayette, La for 60 years after completing his education. He graduated in 1953 from SLI (now University of Louisiana, Lafayette) with a degree in History and a minor in French. He then received his Juris Doctor from LSU School of Law in Baton Rouge in 1956 where he served on the Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif. He subsequently enjoyed a highly successful career specializing in Oil and Gas law which spanned 42 years. He served for many years as an examiner for the Louisiana State Bar Exam.

He is survived by his children, Marie Denise Hollier of New Orleans, William Perrault Hollier and his wife Alyssa of Fairfax, Virginia and Henry Andrew Hollier and his wife Nicolle of Baton Rouge. He is survived by six grandchildren, William Hollier, Robert Hollier and Olivia Hollier of Fairfax, Va and Caroline Hollier, Andrew Hollier and Alexander Hollier all of Baton Rouge.

He was preceded in death by his parents Richard and Gladys Hollier as well as three sisters, Inez Horecky, Edith Mafouz, Bonnie Tilly and one brother, Jimmy Hollier.

He was a true Renaissance man whose interests and talents included art, history, painting, genealogy, woodworking, cooking and conversation with good friends and family. He was fluent in French and reveled in the opportunity to travel to France to immerse himself in French culture. He considered it a compliment when someone felt he was "eccentric", which indeed he was. Above all he had a deep and intense dedication to his family which was apparent to all those that knew him.

In lieu of flowers the family requests any donation be made to Hospice of Baton Rouge or a charity of their choosing.

A Mass celebrating his life will be held at St. John's Cathedral in Lafayette, La at 10:00 AM, Saturday October 10th, 2015 with entombment immediately following in St John's Cemetery.

With the arrival of Jean Dufilho between the years of 1800 and 1803, the Dufilho family name had its beginnings in Louisiana.

Dufilho, Jean (I430)

Witnesses:
A. L. Hollier - Arthur Louis Hollier, Lilly Ann's grandfather.
A. M. Hollier - Adolphe Marshall Hollier. Adolphe married Antoinia Dufilho, John Marie's sister.
U. L. Hinckley - I think this may be Arthur L. Hinckley, Anna’s brother. It is possible the “U” was incorrectly transcribed. A. L. Hinckley appears as a witness on the marriage license I have from the court house.
M. J. Dufilho - Maurice Joseph (Jean Marie’s brother)

‘Kidnapped,’ Says He After Fifty Years
[Daily World (Opelousas, Louisiana), 19 March 1950, p. 4] John M. Dufilho figures today it turned out great, even though his wife “just kidnapped” him into marrying her 50 years ago. “I was at a dance,” Mr. Dufilho explained “standing around when all of a sudden a pink rose bud hit me on the chest.
“That was the beginning of a different courtship and 50 years of married life.”
Well-known and beloved Mr. and Mrs. Dufilho, who have spent the greater part of their life right here in Opelousas, are celebrating today their anniversary.
TELLS ALL
The operating part of this apparent conspiracy admits, that maybe there is something with a twinkle In her eye, to it.
“I knew he was the one for me the first moment I saw him, and so I set my hat for him,” Mrs. Dufilho confides.
He was 23 years old and she only 13 when the courtship began.
“I thought she was just a little girl and didn’t know what she wanted, so I started being nice to her -taking her to dances and all,” he relates.
WAS HE FOOLED
He tried to be a guardian to her, introducing her to nice boys, and in reality, trying to find a man for her. But he didn’t know how set she was, until, he didn’t see her for one year
WRITES HIS MOTHER
Undaunted, the pretty dark-haired dark-eyed girl, wrote his mother. “That’s when I gave up my idea of wanting to be a bachelor and started, to my amazement, thinking that perhaps married life wouldn’t be too bad.”
WED IN 1900
Their wedding was held in the Opelousas Catholic church on March 20. 1900. Mrs. Dufilho was the former Miss Catherine Ann Hinckley, and she had been born in Opelousas Mr. Dufilho. however was born in New Orleans and came to Opelousas in the year 1882, and it is considered a coincidence by the couple, for it was in this very year that Mrs. Dufilho was born.
“IT WAS FAITH”
“It was faith-he just had to come to me.” Mrs. Dufilho teased. as she smiled at her husband
HAD 9 CHILDREN
They had nine children, seven boys and two girls. One of their boys was killed at Pearl Harbor.
Mrs. Dufilho on telling about her children, told of a very odd thing that has happened. Two of her children, the oldest and youngest have never seen each other. George, the oldest, went to California when he was about 29 years old; and the baby Gerald, was only a few months old.
Since then, both have been busy and have never had a chance to visit each other. On this day. with their children, grandchildren (nine), and great-grandchildren (two); this scribe would like to take her hat off to them.
MET LIFE BRAVELY
They have met life bravely and hive received its reward of a happy life together. “We’ve always been very close to each other, sharing sorrow and joy alike; and to be truthful we have never stayed away from each other in vexation for even one-half hour, Mrs. Dufilho proudly said.
CHILDREN
Their children are: George Dufilho of California, Mrs. Havard Burleigh of Mississippi, John Dufilho, Mrs. Gayheart Shute of Houston. Tex., Louis, Eugene and Gerald Dufilho.
