DEATH OF A GOOD CITIZEN.

Postmaster of Barton and Former Police Juror Answers Last Call.

Jules O. Ayraud, one of the leading citizens of the second ward and for many 
years postmaster of Barton, died at his home last Thursday at 12:10 o'clock p. 
m., at the age of 69 years, 9 months and 1 day. He had been in bad health for a 
long time, and recently his condition grew gradually worse, and he sank 
steadily until he finally passed away.

Deceased was a native and lifelong resident of this parish. A son of the late 
Theodore Ayraud, and brother of the late Sam Ayraud, who for years was engaged 
in the hotel business in this city, and many years ago was a member of the 
police jury from the second ward. He was a man of high personal integrity and 
sterling worth, and enjoyed the respect and confidence of all who knew him.

The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, and was largely attended by 
sorrowing relatives and friends. Services were held at the Catholic church, 
following which the remains were laid to rest in the family tomb in the 
Catholic cemetery.

Mr. Ayraud was twice married. His first wife, Mrs. Lilly Deocouro, preceded him 
to the grave many years ago. His second wife, Widow Barbier, survives. Besides 
his wife he leaves to mourn his loss five sons, Honore, Edward, Jules, Sam and 
Frank; four daughters, Mrs. Paul Judice, Mrs. Lester Vessier, Mrs. Chas. Durham 
and Mrs. Lee Foret, and a large number of grandchildren. The Chief condoles 
with the afflicted relatives in the hour of their great sorrow.
