    BERNARD A. PRATTE'S DEATH. An Old and Well-Known St. Louisan Who Passed Away in Texas. In the death of Bernard Antoine Pratte, another of the old Creoles passes away. He was born in St. Louis in 1825, the eldest child of the late General Bernard Pratte. At the time of his birth his parents were dwelling on the corner of Main and Market streets, and St. Louis was but a village where little else than the French language was spoken. Before he was 11 years old, he was sent to New York to school, to the Peugnet Brothers, where he remained for five years. From New York, he went to Yale College and graduated in the class of '46. He studied law with Mr. Josiah Spalding of St. Louis, and was later admitted to the bar. In 1854 the Legislature of Missouri passed an act to have the old Spanish and French archives of St. Louis translated into English, and filed in the Recorder's Office, and Mr. Pratte was appointed to do the work, which task he completed. When the war between the States broke out, being an ardent disciple of the principles of "State's rights," he cast his fortune with the Southern cause. After the war, he settled in Atlanta, Ga., where he remained for many years, but for the past 15 years he had been in poor health, and went from place to place in the South with the hope of improving his health, and finally settled in Texas, where he died. He leaves no children.
