Eunice, a town located in Louisiana, is as colorful as its founder, Cornelius "Curley" Duson!.Duson was a distinguished lawman who served as a deputy sheriff of St. Landry Parish from 1874-1888. Cornelius Duson was an expert marksman who maintained law and order by tracking down notorious outlaws and bringing them to justice. Louis Rousseau, a known murderer, was one of those outlaws. Duson tracked Rousseau from Ville Platte, Louisiana all the way to Oklahoma, captured him, and brought him back to St. Landry Parish for his trial and execution in 1877. Duson was also a prominent land developer who named the town he discovered after his second wife Eunice(nee Pharr)Duson. Eunice was incorporated as a city on June 4,1895.
