An unofficial death toll estimate today was set at about 350 persons lost in Hurricane Audrey along the Gulf Coast. The grim task of locating the missing and known dead is still underway in Cameron parish and parts of Vermillion parish.
Many of the bodies being brought in to rescue centers are to be buried unidentified in a mass burial. Others are being buried in individual rites throughout the area. Some were buried near the locations of their deaths by grieving husbands, sons and fathers.
