Anthony Henry Troillet, known as "Tony", was born in Conway, Arkansas. He was the son of John and Marie Louise (Metrailer) Troillet.
Tony went to a local dance and met a young woman named Clara Worm. She had come with someone else, but went home with Tony. They were married on May 9, 1931, in Saint Joseph Catholic Church, Conway, Arkansas. This union produced nine children and lasted until his death on October 18, 1994, 63 years later.
He was a quiet man who was liked and respected by all who know him. He worked as a truck driver and as a mechanic. The last home they lived in faced the house he was born in, separated by a cow pasture. They had land to plant a huge garden, which supplied them with vegetables. Clara was a tremendous cook. Before his final illness, he would get up early, start the wood cook stove and the coffee; Clara and Tony would sit down with a cup of coffee and talk, enjoying a few minutes of quiet together before the day. And he loved to go fishing.
Tony and Clara had nine children--six boys and three girls. They were all educated at Saint Joseph Elementery and High School, where they excelled.
At the time of his death, Tony was survived by his wife, all nine of their children, his sister Josephine Dayer, his brother Camille Troillet, 12 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. His funeral was held at Saint Joseph Catholic Church.
