My great great grandmother was Agnes Lacour Kimball Eason (1879-1961), only child of Gus and Mathilde Compere Lacour. She was born in Planters Landing, LA, but spent most of her life in Beaumont, Jefferson County, TX. She married Oscar P. Kimball in 1894, and they had three children, Adeline, Lucille and Aubrey Kimball.

Her grandfather was Gilbert Azenor Lacour, Jr, (1818-1894) he was married to Aurelia Lacour and they had several children. His obituary follows:

SUDDEN DEATH

Mr. Gilbert LaCour, an old and respected citizen of this county, died suddenly Wednesday morning, at 9 o'clock at the home of his son, Mr. Bab LaCour, near Moss Bluff. The deceased was apparently in good health, having been engaged, but a moment before incleaning a fish, walked into the house and washed his hands and remarked that "his head was swimming," and for them to catch him. Before the family could place him comfortably in bed he expired, doubtless from heart disease. He was 76 years old, was a native ofLouisiana, but had lived here many years. His remains were brought to this place and interred in the Catholic cemetery, followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends. The Vindicator condoles with the family in their great distress.
