      Blanchards Die in Wednesday Tragedy

      RAYNE, La. - Dr. Robert McManus, Acadia Parish ccoroner, ruled apparent murder and suicide into the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Alcia Blanchard early today at their home two miles south of Rayne on the Indian Bayou road.

      In an investiaation conducted by Dr. McManus and officers of the Acadia Sheriff's Department it was learned that Mrs. May Leger Blanchard, 72, was fatally shot three times in the chest with a .22 calibre pistol. Her body was found in her bedroom.

      The investigation further disclosed that Blanchard, 76, went into the kitchen and apparently fatally wounded himself in the chest with the same weapon.

      Mr. Blanchard was a retired Texaco employee and Mrs. Blanchard was formerly married to Willie Clement.

      Her survivors include two daughters, Mrs. Wilson Gaspard and Mrs. Clarence Dupuis, two sons, Norris and Nolan Clement, all of Rayne, two sisters, Mrs. Joe Istre of Crowley and Mrs. Toville Trahan of Rayne and two brothers, Louis and Delma Leger, both of Rayne.

      Surviving Mr. Blanchard are two daughters, Mrs. Anna Lou Broussard of Rayne and Mrs. Albert Kostelecky of Dickinson, N. Dakota, four sons (all of Rayne), Claude Wilbur, Douglas and Eugene; four sisters, mrs. Alcide Meyers of Duson, Mrs. Ella Blanchard of Abbeville, Mrs. Cyprien Borne of Rayne and Mrs. Nydia Woodbury of Vinton, La. and one brothers, Oneal Blanchard of Port Neches, Texas.

      Funeral arrangements were incomplete at press time, with the Gossen Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
