General St. John Liddell had a large plantation in Catahoula Parish, named “Llanada.” His father gave him the money to buy it, and also provided “suggestions” from time to time. Liddell had fits trying to find an overseer of the plantation. Finally his father, suggested his first cousin, J.A. Liddell. That didn’t work out, but General Liddell did send this cousin up to Richland Parish to manage the 2000+ acres of timber that had been seized by the Freedmen’s Bureau, post Civil War. J.A. Liddell went on to become the first Sheriff of Richland Parish. John Andrew Liddell. The Liddell’s were all first cousins with another well-off plantation family from south Louisiana, named the Randolphs. They built a stately plantation home, one of Louisiana’s finest, still standing today. It is named Nottoway Plantation. #TROTS#TheRestOfTheStory

How do I access the photo of J.D. Liddell which you show in the index to articles?

Thank you for the photo. I sent an earlier message asking if there is someone I could hire to help me research the Liddell and Clark families in Rayville in the 1870s and 1880s. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I wrote the Wikipedia page on the Jones-Liddell feud. Happy to help if I can!
Thank you for the reply.
My top priority is to obtain the obituary published by the Richland Beacon News for my great grandfather, Dr. Louis Lehman Liddell. I believe he died in Rayville on Feb. 24, 1890 at the age of 34.
Seen this? https://www.newspapers.com/clip/62048280/liddell/
Thank you for the link to the 1958 article about my grandmother’s return visit to Rayville. I do have this article, and as you can see, it refers to the obituary of my great-great-grandfather, Louis L. Liddell, which the Richland Beacon News printed in Feb. 1890. That obituary is what I am trying to find.
