FRANK C. DUFFY VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA. - On Friday morning death claimed one of our 
most promising young men, Frank C. Duffy. Pneumonia following an attack of 
influenza was the case of his death, he having been ill but ten days.

Deceased was born in Morgan City, thirty-four years ago, but had resided here 
practically all of his life. He was a devout catholic and always took an active 
part in matters pertaining to the church. His early demise was indeed a great 
shock to the community.

Mr. Duffy was in charge of the complaint department of the New Orleans Railway 
and Light Company, with which concern he had been connected for many years. He 
was past grand knight of Santa Maria Council, No. 1724, Knights of Columbus, of 
Algiers, and also belonged to St. Vincent de Paul Society, the Holy Name Society 
and the Catholic Knights Benevolent Association. He took a deep interest in the 
affairs of the K.C. hut at the Algiers Naval Station and was instrumental in 
making that place the comfortable rendezvous it proved to be for the men at the 
station.

Mr. Duffy is survived by his wife, who was Miss Rowena Barlow, and three 
children, his widowed mother, a sister, Mrs. A.H. Verret, and three brothers, 
former Recorder John Duffy, Constable William Duffy and Joe Duffy of Gretna. The 
funeral took place at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, with requiem mass at the Church of the 
Holy Name of Mary, interment was in Greenwood cemetery.
