(Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, May 07, 1910, Image 4 Death of Mrs. Jules O. Ayraud. After an illness extending through several weeks, Mrs. Jules O. Ayraud, nee Marie Deocouro, died at 5:15 o'clock p. m. last Monday in New Orleans, to which city she had been taken for treatment. The remains were brought to Donaldsonville on the noon T. and P. train Tuesday and transported to the family residence at Barton, from whence the funeral took place at 9 o'clock Wednesday forenoon. Services were held at the Catholic church in this city and interment was made in the family tomb in the Catholic cemetery, the impressive obsequies being attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. Mrs. Ayraud was a native of Assumption parish, and had attained the age of fifty-nine years, eight months and eight days. She was seized with the illness which culminated in her death some time ago, and although every resource known to medical science was exhausted in an attempt to arrest the ravages of the dread malady from which she suffered the effort proved unavailing and the patient sufferer finally gave up the unequal contest and yielded her gentle soul to its Maker. Mrs. Ayraud was a woman of great charm of character and unusual attainments, and was admired and loved by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Besides her devoted husband, she is survived by five sons, Honore, of Bell Alliance; Frank, of Glen Arm, Maryland; Jules, of Beaumont, Texas; Edward, of Cameron parish, and Sam of Barton; and four daughters, Mrs. P. N. Judice, Jr., and Misses Cornelia and Aline Ayraud, of Barton, and Mrs. Lester Vessier, of Kentwood. She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Esteve Hidalgo and Mrs. Elizabeth Deocouro, both of this parish. To the bereaved family The Chief, in common with a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, tenders assurances of profound sympathy.
