Death of Mrs. George Barker. - Mrs. George Barker, nee Miss Ella Goette, a 
native of this city but for several years a resident of St. Patrick, in St. 
James parish, died at her home at the latter place Thursday morning at 6:30 
o'clock, aged 37 years and four months. Deceased had been sick for several 
months with a complication of diseases and despite the fact that she was given 
the best of medical attention and nursing, she obtained no relief. Her condition 
grew steadily worse until she finally passed away. And while her death was not 
unexpected, it cast a deep gloom over her relatives and friends and the 
community in which she lived and was loved so well. The remains were brought to 
Donaldsonville Thursday afternoon and the funeral took place from the residence 
of her brother, Dr. Clarence Goette, in Railroad avenue, at 9 o'clock yesterday 
morning. Services were held at the Catholic church, Rev. C.M. Chambon 
officiating, after which the body was laid to rest in the family tomb in the 
Catholic cemetery. The funeral was largely attended by sorrowing relatives and 
friends which attested, in a measure the popularity in which she was held. 
Decedent was a daughter of Sidonius Goette of this city. She had a pleasant and 
genial disposition and sweet and winsome ways which made her beloved by all who 
knew her. She was a very devout and pious Catholic; a loving wife and an 
affectionate mother, and in every sense a true Christion woman. Her untimely 
demise has left a great vacancy in the lives of those to whom she was near and 
dear. George Barker, her husband, for some years was employed as chief sawyer at 
the Vacherie sawmill, and since the plant closed down has held the position of 
wharfmaster (sic) at St. Patrick. Besides her husband, deceased leaves two 
children, Sidonius and Jessie; her father, Sidonius Geotte, and two brothers, 
Dr. Clarence Goette and Conrad Goette, who is a student at St. Joseph's College 
in Metuchen, N.J., and several other relatives. To them The Chief extnds (sic) 
sympathy in their great bereavement.
