L.V. DUMENIL DIES FRIDAY AT MONTROSE

Louis V. Dumenil died at his home in Montrose, Iowa last night at 11:50
o’clock after an illness of several months. Mr. Dumenil was eighty-seven
years old. He was born February 28, 1843, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the son
of Jean Baptiste and Francis Ballay [sic] Dumenil. In May of 1853 he
came with his parents to Keokuk, and then they settled on a farm at
Charleston. On February 22, 1880, he was married to Frances Makinney who
survives him, together with one son, John D. Dumenil of Keokuk, and one
daughter, Mrs. Marie Horner of Montrose. One son, L.W. Dumenil, died
five years ago. For some years the family’s home was at Argyle, and in
April 1918 the family moved to Montrose where they have since resided.
Mr. Dumenil was a member of the Joppa lodge of Masons. Masons will be in
charge of the services which will be held Sunday afternoon.
