In a Louisiana Regiment.
[from the New Orleans Picayune, Aug. 2,9, Sept. 6, 1903.]
Organization of the 13th Louisiana Infantry—Camp Mandeville, the Avegno Zouaves, the Regiment formed at Camp Moore— presentation of Flag—Camp Life—Going to the front. By General John McGRATH, Baton Rouge.
In a letter from a friend and comrade, recently, a suggestion was made that I write a sketch of the organization and service of the 13th Louisiana Regiment of the Civil war.

Mary M. McKay.
In the death of Miss Mary M. McKay of 254 School street, the Historical Society has lost a faithful and devoted member.
Miss McKay was the daughter of the late George and Jane McKay of Charlestown, where she was born sixty years ago. For the past fourteen years she had made her home with her sister, Mrs. James G. Hinckley, of this city.
Her death occurred after a five weeks illness, on Saturday, August 29, 1903.
Besides Mrs. Hinckley, two other sisters, Mrs. Jacob T. Hutchinson and Miss Eliza J. McKay, also a member of this society, and a brother, George E. McKay, superintendent of the Boston markets, are left to mourn her loss.
The interment was in the family lot at Mt. Auburn.
Miss McKay, by her kind and cheerful disposition, and by her many other admirable qualities of mind and heart, won the esteem and friendship of a large circle of friends in this vicinity.
