LUDVIC HERMAN VON GOHREN
My name is Dr. Ludvic Herman Von Gohren. Mine is the only underground crypt in this graveyard. The door to the crypt in on top of the ground and it slides to open - this way. The crypt will hold 6-8 caskets. My wife, Caroline, my daughter, Paula, and I are buried here. And recently the ashes of one of my decendents was put here.
I wass born in Saxony, Germany, I cam to Bay St. Louis and built a health resort on the beach. The complex was known as "Villa Quisisana". It consisted of several well built and ventilated houses finely furnished with tennis and croquet courts. Invalid and convalescent patients came but also people from all parts of the country with health problems. I specialized in hydro and electro thereupulic treatments, anti-fat and water cures.
Bay St. Louis developed as the finest health resort on the Coast. The climate is ideal, the Gulf breezes are pure, the pine trees are fragrant and "clean", the water is goof for drinking, swim-ing,boating and fishing. Vegetables are fruit are in abundance. What else is necessary for good health? And I was the famous doctor who could give my patients the best of care and rest.
My home was a bee hive of community social affaiars. The Sea Coast Echo social columns are full of my family's "agoings and comings" as well as the names of out-of-town people who were my patients.
I was a city councilman, an alderman for 12t Ward under Mayor E. E. O'Brien. My name is on the corner stone at the old City Hall.
My youngest daughter married Walter Gex Sr. and is buried over there. Paula married a Jenks and is buried here. My 3rd daughter's son, Ernest Delamain, is buried over there.
We were one of the elite beach families in this health resort town in the late 1800's. I lived 1844 to 1906; 56 years. Bay St. Louis was a wonderful home to me and I lived living here.
