Dalferes, a native of Assumption parish, but a resident of this city for a number of years, died at 1 o'clock p. m. last Monday at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Nicholas LeBlanc, aged fifty-five years, eight months and eight days. Mr. Dalferes was apparently in the best of health up to Sunday morning, when at about 10:30 o'clock he was suddenly stricken with an attach of illness while sitting in front of Cobb & Company's livery stable in Railroad avenue conversing with a party of friends. He was immediately conveyed to his room and given every attention by the family physician and relatives, and in the course of a short while he rallied from the attack and seemed to be recuperating from its effects. This favorable condition continued up to 1 o'clock the following afternoon, when without previous warning or indication of any kind he suddenly lapsed into unconsciousness, passing quietly away a few minutes later before his brother, Duke Dalferes, or a Catholic priest who had been summoned could reach his bedside. The funeral took place from the LeBlanc residence in Iberville street at noon Tuesday, services being held at the local Catholic church in the presence of a large gathering of sorrowing relatives and friends, and interment being made in the Catholic cemetery at Plattenville. By virtue of his genial, kindly disposition and attractive personality, Mr. Dalferes had made for himself a large number of warm friends, to whom the announcement of his untimely demise has proved a great shock and a source of sincere sorrow. He is survived by three brothers, Franklin of New Orleans, M. D. of Lafayette, and Duke D. Dalferes, of Donaldsonville, and one sister, Mrs. Nicholas LeBlanc, also of this city. To these afflicted ones The Chief tenders its profound sympathy.
