‘Kidnapped,’ Says He After Fifty Years
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.
