Capt. Thos. E. Hebert Killed In Auto Crash Enroute To Visit Wife
The entire community of Covington was shocked early Saturday morning of last week when the sad news of the death of Captain Thomas E. Hebert, M.D. reached here after he had passed away in the Durel Clinic at New Roads La following a head-on auto crash on the highway between Baton Rouge and Krotz Springs.
Captain Hebert was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis A. Hebert of Covington and was married to Miss Myrtle Hymel of which union there are two children, one an infant born only a few weeks ago.
Besides the above he is survived by one sister Mrs. Ellen Abadie; two brothers, Flight Officer L. A. Hebert and Wayne Hebert, S 2/c.
According to information received here Capt. Hebert was on his way to New Orleans to attend the christening of his baby and was looking forward to that event with a great deal of enthusiasm.
Capt. Hebert had been stationed at Camp Howze, Texas, but was at maneuvers in Louisiana. All his papers for promotion to the rank of Major had been approved and had he been in camp a few days prior to his untimely death he would have received his promotion and would have been wearing the insignia of a Major.
His death cast a pall over the entire community because he was such a splendid man who had made his way up into the professional world by hard work in the L.S.U. School of Medicine. After his country had officially declared war on Japan he entered the services and in a short time had acquired the friendship of all who knew him in his new field.
His remains were laid to rest in Hope Mausoleum in New Orleans after services at the home of his parents in Covington, Rev. J. Cude Rousseaux of the Methodist church officiating. His bosom friend and companion in the army, Chaplain Hayes, a Catholic priest, came to Covington and while here offered prayers for his departed friend.
He received his promotion to Major posthumously.
