LAURENT THIBODEAUX MAKES VIOLIN

CP Democrat May 8, 1909

It cannot be disproved that Church Point can boast of a very competent wood worker, and this party in none other than the trusty smith, Laurent Thibodeaux. He has just completed one of the most perfect violins probably ever made. The instrument is made of oak and neatly carved. He has not yet varnished it. The tone is excellent, and one cannot tell it was not made by the regular violin makers. Laurent is somewhat proud of this, his first attempt at such a feat, and he being a violin player it is not probable he could be induced to part with the same. He is now making another one, which will be made a little different, that is different material will be used for some parts.
