DEATH OF DR. J. T. BRINGIER. - Prominent Physician and Member of School 
Board Passes Away. - Dr. Julian (sic) Trist Bringier, popular physician, 
prominent citizen and member of the parish school board from the fifth ward, 
died suddenly last Wednesday afternoon while out hunting on the Conway 
plantation, back of Burnside, with his friends, Dr. Brooks A. Colomb of St. 
James. Death is said to have been due to heart disease from which the doctor 
is said to have been a sufferer for years.

Deceased was a native and life-long resident of the parish of Ascension. He 
was born on the Hermitage plantation March 9, 1862, a son of the late L. A. 
Bringier and Stella Tureaud. He was educated at the Louisiana State 
University and the Virginia Military Institute. He graduated as an M. D. at 
Tulane University, New Orleans, in 1888, and shortly thereafter located near 
Burnside and engaged in the practice of his profession, which he continued 
successfully up to the time he acquired the beautiful Ben Tureaud home 
"Tezcuco," and lived there for the past twenty-five years. In 1897, he 
married Miss Mary Jones, daughter of Dr. Joseph Jones, the celebrated 
scientist, who, in 1878, sent to the gallows five brutal negroes who 
murdered Philip Arrieux. The expert testimony of Dr. Jones convicted the 
quintette and they were legally hanged in the public square in 
Donaldsonville in the presence of thousands of people. The doctor's 
testimony was to the effect that the blood found on the clothing of the 
negroes was identical with that on the scale weights which had been used to 
crush the old man's skull.

Dr. Bringier always took an active part in the political life of the parish 
and state. He served for four years as a member of the State Leper Board, 
and for two terms as a member of the parish school board of Ascension. He 
was a polished gentleman and scholar, a friend to the poor, a devoted 
husband and affectionate father. His domestic life was examplary (sic). He 
was liked and respected by all who knew him, white and colored alike, and 
his death has cast a deep gloom over the community in which he lived and 
labored faithfully and well for so many years.

The funeral took place yesterday morning. Services were held at the 
Episcopal church in this city at 11 o'clock, at which Rev. Quincy Ewing of 
Napoleonville officiated, following which the remains were laid to rest in 
the large family tomb in the Catholic cemetery. A large number of people 
from the vicinity in which he lived and from all parts of the parish 
attended the obsequies and followed the remains to their last resting place.

The active pall-bearers were: Bertil Schexnayder, Joseph Belle, Jr., Maurice 
Hymel, Clarence Porta, John Boudreaux and Uriel Louvierre.

Besides his estimable wife, decedent leaves to mourn his loss, two 
daughters, Mrs. S. Logan McConnell of Monroe, La., and Miss Trista, and two 
brothers and one sister, L. A. Bringier of Los Angeles, Calif., and Mrs. R. 
H. Thach of Birmingham, Ala. The Chief proffers condolences to the afflicted 
family in their great loss.
