He was a member of the Confederate cavalry and rode a horse raised on the farm, which proved to be one of the best in the service. After the war he returned to Bay St. Louis and resumed the business of cattle raising.
Mr Fayard had never been sick in his life up to a few months before his death, and he possessed all of his teeth and was famous for his strength and energy. He was a man of genial disposition and very popular. Mr. Fayard leaves a wife, who was Miss Estelle Favre, of Bay St. Louis, who is 88 years old. He also leaves six sons and two daughters, all of whom are married and live in their own homes; sixty grandchildren and twenty five great grandchilden.
