Death of James E. Ayraud. - Once again we are called upon to perform the 
sorrowful task of chronicling the death of an esteemed fellow citizen - this 
time that of James E. Ayraud, who passed away at 11:10 o'clock last Sunday night 
at his home in Port Barrow, at the age of thirty-eight years, ten months and 
eleven days. Mr. Ayraud had been in poor health for some time past, never having 
recovered from the effects of a severe attack of lung trouble which he 
contracted several months ago. He rallied somewhat and seemed to be doing very 
well until Tuesday forenoon, the 7th inst., when his condition changed for the 
worse. From that time the sufferer grew steadily weaker, until finally, shortly 
before mid-night Sunday, he relinquished his slender hold upon life and closed 
his eyes in the eternal sleep that knows no waking.

Mr. Ayraud was a native of Assumption parish, but had resided in this community 
since boyhood. For the past several years he had been employed as traveling 
salesman for the firm of Weiss, Frank & Co., commission merchants of New 
Orleans. A year or so ago he filled the position of deputy assessor of Ascension 
parish under Assessor A. A. Kling.

The funeral took place at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, interment being made in 
the family tomb in the Catholic cemetery after impressive services at Ascension 
Church, Rev. Scramuzza officiating. The obsequies were attended by the members 
of Mohawk Tribe No. 33, I. O. R. M., of which order Mr. Ayraud was a zealous 
member, and a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, who took this 
last occasion to testify to their high esteem for the deceased and to attest in 
befitting manner their sincere sorrow anent his untimely demise.

Besides a wife, Mr. Ayraud is survived by four children, namely: Varley Edward 
and James Horace, boys, and Edith Fanny and Garnet Marie, girls, the eldest of 
whom is eight years of age and the youngest eight months. He also leaves two 
brothers, Richard and Frank Ayraud, of Denver, Col., and one sister, Mrs. N. J. 
Verrett, of Little Rock, Ark. To these afflicted ones the entire community 
tenders assurances of very deep and heartfelt sympathy.
