- As a young man he became blind. He came to Louisiana sometime
during the late 1840's, although I have never been able to
discover just when, or if he came alone.
He was an accomplished musician and organist. I have copies of two letters to him from his parents: one dated 1855 is addressed to "Fourrier, Organist at Thibodaux, Louisiana" and one, dated 1858, is addressed to "Fourrier, Organist at Plaquemine,Louisiana!. He also composed some music, and I have given the original sheet music of one of his songs to the Historic New Orleans Collection.
The story is that when the Yankees got down to Vicksburg
during the Civil War, he said "This is no place for a blind man to be", so he packed his wife and 6 children and headed for Havana, Cuba.
However, they were there only a short while before he became victim to a yellow fever epidemic and died,and he was buried in a common grave with other victims. The New Orleans Bee, dated November 9, 1863 reports that Madame Fourweird (sic) and seven children have returned to New Orleans from Havana on the Morning Star.
