Monroe News-Star Wednesday, Feb. 8 1961 AMA SPEAKS OUT UPPER PARGOUD Plantation, the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. W.

McSherry on Island Drive, stands much as it did when constructed, some 160 years PLANTATION ago. It was built by Hippolyte Pargoud and has been in the Cole family since 1890. (Staff photo by Ben Bradford) (Continued From the front gallery, and three dormers complete the style, in the traditional Old South manner. The original green window shutters are still in use, along with many of the brass door locks. The railings on the porch are hand- hewn and the four fireplaces contain the original brick.

Three rooms still contain the flooring laid over a century and a half ago, and most of the interior floor plans remain the same, Mrs. McSherry said. Some of the windows and doors date back to the beginning also, and the marble flooring at the side entrance, although not original, "is very she added. One of the most interesting pieces of furniture in the home is a in one of the bedrooms, complete with a special compartment for storing wigs. "This piece of furniture is at least 200 years old," Mrs.

McSherry said. Matching the wig dresser in looks and age is a gigantic four- poster bed, complete with a tester over the top. Another ancient piece of furniture is a old revolving card table, along with a day bed and sewing table, all of about the same vintage. In another bedroom, a bookcase and secretary lay claim to being well over 100 years old, Mrs. McSherry pointed out.

The sideboard and dining table are of about the same era, and a complete silver service rests on the sideboard after being safely hidden throughout the Civil War, Very old pharmacy scales re- i pose on the living room table, holding artificial fruit and adding an unusual touch. A barometer hanging over one of the fireplaces dates back to about 1860, as do a half-dozen or so oil paintings. Other century old items include a silver sugar container with scoop attached, a matching butter dish, and a cigar box with inlaid ivory on the top. About 400 yards north of the plantation house is the Pargoud Indian Mound. Tradition has it that this is the burial place of the daughter of Indian Chief Ucita, beautiful Wichita.

Wichita died after being desert ed by Juan Ortego, a member of de expedition, according to legend. Ortego married the Indian in gratitude after she saved his life, later left her, and she died of a broken heart, so the story goes. The imposing plantation home has survived the ravages of war and the rigors of moving. It Is firmly entrenched as one of the vestiges of an era far removed from bustling Monroe of 1961. 2 Given Terms Jail After Theft Conviction Shumaker Rites Scheduled Today In West Monroe Oppose Addition To SS Program CHICAGO (AP) The presi-federal-state financed medical care of a type decided by the GE Develops New Way To Desalt Ocean Water Final rites were scheduled fV 3 p.m.
