He was married on January 14, 1897 . to Miss Angeline A. Picraluga of New Orleans, who has proved a wonderful helpmate to Mr. Moreau throughout their 44 years of wedded happiness. Their only child, Marie Louise Moreau, born October 13,	1897,
graduated from Bay St. Louis High 1 School, and was a student of Sophie Newcomb College, New Orleans, when she died on Oct. 10, 1918, victim ; of the dreaded influenza epidemic of ? that year. A young woman of rare physical beauty and mental attainment, her death has been an irre-
parable loss to her devoted parents.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Moreau are devout members of the Roman Catholic Church and are strong support -erg of the local parish, bearing .thei r material gifts when they seek the spiritual guidance of the house of God.
Mrs. Moreau is essentially a homemaker and the lovely home of Spanish architecture on Carroll avenue is her pride. The house is a veritable store house of treasures many of which they have secured on theii various trips throughout the United States and into Canada and Mexico. Both are excellent travellers, either by auto or train, and they plan semiannual pilgrimages east, west, north and south, as the fancy takes them.
The Moreau home is a meeting place for the many friends of ?Charlie? and Minnie,? as their friends love to call them. From intimate groups of closest friends, to larger gatherings of acquaintances the home adapts itself, the grdups often overflowing into the garden where seasonal flowers and evergreens are beautifully cultivated.
Mr. and Mrs. Moreau are ardent lovers of plants and flowers, as their home garden well indicates. They are life complimentary members of the Gulfport Garden Club.
Mr. and Mrs. Moreau are known socially throughout the Coast section and, in New Orleans. In New Orleans Mr. Moreau was a member for many years of the Chest and Whist Club, and has been actively associated with several of the exclusive Carnival associations. When thi first Carnival organization celebrated the annual feast day in Bay St. Louis... seven years ago, Mr"'Moreauv?as ' lected as King, an honor accorded annually' to a prominent business man of the City, Mrs. Moreau?s friend,. Miss Marie Bertrand of Pass Christian reigned as queen in Mr Moreau?s court.
one of the best cooks in her community Mr. Moreau is known as a raconteur, his story telling ability being enhanced by his charming use of his two native tongues, French and English. Mrs. Moreau?s interest in music finds a counterpart in Mr. Moreau, and annually they are seen, at the opera and concerts at nearby New Orleans.
To return in closing to The Echo, and Mr. Moreaus?s relationship to it, it is my happy privilege to pay not only a personal tribute, but one for all members of The Echo staff to Mr. Moreau as an employer. He gives to those who work for him his abiding friendship, his interest in their personal affairs, his counsel in their problems, and permits them a most delightful freedom of action, which resolves into a strong loyalty to Ihe ?boss.? and results in long years of service in his employ. Mrs. Moreau shares to an unusual degree in that same interest and thereby enshrines herscif in the hearts of THE ECHO .STAFF.
