Died. - DUFFEL - Wednesday morning, June 30, 1886, at Woodstock, Ascension 
parish, La., ANN E. DUNNINGTON, wife of Judge Henry L. Dufel (sic), aged 63 
years.

The sad event here recorded had been for some time foreshadowed by the prolonged 
illness with which Mrs. Duffel was afflicted, and the relatives and friends who 
deeply lament the loss of this noble woman, have the consolation of knowing that 
the dispensation of Providence which has so sorely bereft them, gave her a 
blessed release from physical suffering. The remains were escorted to the Church 
of Ascension, at Donaldsonville, Thursday morning, by a large concourse of the 
kinspeople, neighbors and friends of the deceased, and after the impressive 
ceremonies of the Catholic ritual had been performed by Rev. Father Dubernard, 
assisted by Rev. Simon, the body was reverently consigned to the family tomb in 
the cemetery near the church. The stores and other places of business on the 
front streets of the town were closed during the passage of the funeral cortege 
and until after the burial, an indication of the general regret caused by the 
demise of Mrs. Duffel and the deep sympathy and respect for her honored husband.

The Chief tenders to Judge Duffel, and to the son and daughters of the lamented 
deceased, assurance of profound condolence with them in their hour of poignant 
grief and affliction. Great as the loss of this model wife and mother is it 
would be immeasurably greater but for the assurance offered by the teachings of 
Christianity that her spirit has gone to receive in celestial realms the reward 
of a terrestrial life of purity, benevolence and devotion to duty, there to 
await reunion with those who were near and dear to her on earth.
