(Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, April 13, 1918, page 3 Death of Mrs. Camille Cire. - The death of Mrs. Camille Cire, which occurred at the Hotel Dieu in New Orleans at 9:30 a. m. Wednesday, was a profound shock to this estimable woman's numerous friends in Donaldsonville and elsewhere. After months of suffering she had gone to New Orleans last Saturday for surgical treatment, and it was while on the operating table Wednesday morning that she passed away. Her body was brought home on the night train and at 6:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon was tenderly laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery, the funeral having been delayed to await the arrival of Mrs. Cire's only son, Leonce Cire, who is in training at Camp Pike. Interment was preceded by services at the Catholic church, at which a large number of relatives and friends were present to pay the last tribute of respect to the deceased and to testify to their deep grief over her untimely end. Mrs. Cire was a native of Ascension parish, nee Alice Erris, and was 48 years of age. A good woman in the most comprehensive meaning of the term, she was dearly beloved by the members of her family, warmly esteemed by all her friends, and genuinely respected by the entire community. Besides her husband and son, she leaves two daughters, Misses Aline and Heloise Cire; two sisters, Mesdames Casimir LeBlanc and Fernand Richard, of Donaldsonville, and five brothers, Messrs. Nicholas, Joe, Arthur, Sidney and Smith Erris, of whom the two first named are residents of this community. The Chief joins in extending sympathy to the bereaved family.
