Death of Mrs. K.A. Aucoin. - One of the saddest deaths it has been our painful 
duty to chronicle in a long time was that of Mrs. K.A. Aucoin, nee Clara 
LeBlanc, which occurred at the Touro Infirmary in New Orleans at 4 o'clock 
Thursday afternoon, following a surgical operation performed a few hours 
earlier. Mrs. Aucoin failed to recover from the effects of the anesthetic, and 
although a brave fight was made to restore her to consciousness, science could 
not cope with nature and the end came peacefully and painlessly. Death is sad at 
all times, but when it strikes unexpectedly and claims so shining a mark as this 
good and pure woman, it is doubly hard to bear. The remains were brought to 
Donaldsonville Friday afternoon and were conveyed to the Aucoin home in 
Mississippi street, from whence the funeral took place this morning at 9 
o'clock. Services were held at Ascension Church, Rev. C.M. Chambon officiating, 
after which interment was made in the Catholic cemetery at Plattenville. The 
obsequies were largely attended, attesting the popularity of the deceased, and 
her grave was covered with numerous floral offerings, the final tribute of a 
host of friends. Mrs. Aucoin was a devoted wife and mother, and her children 
"rise up and call her beloved." Besides her husband she is survived by three 
sons and one daughter, namely: Messrs. Klebert Aucoin, of Donaldsonville, and 
Alvin and James Aucoin, of Texas, and Mrs. E.D. Cire, of New Orleans. Especial 
sadness attends the demise of Mrs. Aucoin by reason of a bereavement it visits 
upon her granddaughter, little Edith Rogge, who, motherless since her birth, is 
now deprived as well of a loving grandmother whose arms and heart have held her 
close since baby-hood. Every one in the community has been touched with grief at 
the passing of this lamented woman, and every heart goes out with sympathy to 
the grief-stricken family.
