BREAUX, O. J.
Plaintiffs, colored persons, brought this suit for a judgment in the sum of $10,000 for damages they claim on account of the death of their son, who met with death while at work for the defendant company.
They sue as the father and mother. They were married after the birth of their son, now deceased. There was no impediment to their marriage. They were free to contract. Rev. Shallon Borne was the officiating minister by whom they were united in marriage.
The certificate of marriage was admitted in evidence. Prom it, it appears that June 5, 1886, is the date of the marriage.
