Members of the local Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw tribe believe ancestors lived on the mound and a chief was buried under a large oak tree on the north side. On the mound’s front side, several letters on an old metal sign are chipped away, but the blue words clearly spell out "E. Picou Cemetery." A newer marker also stands, closer to the road, describing the mound’s origins and the cemetery as having graves from 1901 to the 1990s. In a Houma Courier article recently, the cemetery was…

Duren.” (Clement Anselm Evans) The battery was abandoned after the death of all the horses and all but two individuals, Montegut and Duren.

A mission building was finished on January 8, 1844 in le Terrebonne on the Widow Dugas property. Pere Menard recorded in his 1845 journal, the purchase of a new…

Both sides displayed plenty of energy in the opening stages of the match, but none more so than the in-form Jarrad Kennedy, who broke open the Newtown left-edge defence just six minutes into the game, and set up a try for the lingering Zac Santo to open Mounties’ account under the posts.
