Death of Capt. P. A. Charlet. - The many friends in this community of Capt. 
P. A. Charlet, of Assumption parish, were deeply pained to learn of his 
death, which occurred at his home near Plattenville at 11:50 o'clock a. m. 
last Sunday, March 26. Capt. Charlet was a native of Assumption and was 
sixty-six years of age. He served in the Second Louisiana Regiment during 
the civil war, and after the cessation of hostilities he entered 
steamboating as a clerk. In 1870 he formed a partnership with Capt. J. F. 
Aucoin and bought the steamer Lizzie Hopkins.

In 1887 Capt. Charlet commanded the St. John, and in 1888 he had the 
Lafourche built, running her until she was burned in 1907. Later he ran the 
Gem and the Mabel Comeaux, retiring from the steamboating business about 
three years ago.

He is survived by his widow, formerly Miss Eulalie Pintado, and four 
children: Mrs. (Dr.) Henry LeBlanc, and Messrs. Alcee M., Elphege and Pierre 
Charlet, Jr., all of whom reside in Assumption.

The funeral took place Monday afternoon, with services and interment in the 
Plattenville Catholic church and cemetery. The sincere sympathy of an 
exceptionally wide circle of friends and acquaintances is extended to the 
bereaved family in their great grief.
