Death of Albert Esneault. - Albert Esneault, a native and life-long resident of 
Faubourg la Pipe, in the fourth ward of this parish, died at the residence of 
his brother-in-law, Augustin Pintado, in St. Rock avenue, New Orleans, last 
Tuesday morning at 7:35 o'clock. Mr. Esneault was sixty years of age and had 
been in bad health for over three years, and although his death was not 
unexpected it came suddenly and was a distinct shock to his family and friends. 
He was stricken last Saturday shortly after eating a hearty meal. He immediately 
became unconscious and remained in this condition until the end. He died 
surrounded by his wife and children. The remains were brought to Donaldsonville 
on the Texas and Pacific train Wednesday morning, and the funeral took place at 
the Catholic church and cemetery. The pall-bearers were: Rene Esneault, Cecilien 
Esneault, Dominique Cabaliero, Edgar Guillot, R.A. Lawless and Edgar Templet. A 
large number of relatives and friends followed the remains to their last resting 
place. Mr. Esneault was during the whole of his life and up to the time that he 
was taken ill, three years ago, engaged in the lumber business, for many years 
as co-owner with his late father, Alfred Esneault, and his brother, Cecilien 
Esneault, of the old Picayune sawmill, and later a president of the Esneault 
Lumber Company. Mr. Esneault was the inventor and patentee of improvements in 
scoops which proved great labor and money-savers in levee building. In 1904, Mr. 
Esneault was elected a member of the police jury from the fourth ward of the 
parish, in which capacity he served with credit to himself and satisfaction to 
his constituents for four years. Mr. Esneault was married twice. The deceased is 
servived (sic) by his first wife, who was Miss Adele Marchand, of New Orleans; six 
children, issue of his marriage to his first wife, the late Mrs. Hermina Vega, 
as follows: Henry, Arthur, Gibbons, Carmen, Hermina and Olga; and one 
grandchild, Rene Chauvin, Jr.; two brothers, Cecilien Esneault and Rene 
Esneault; one sister, Mrs. Edgar Templet, and a large number of nephews, neices 
(sic) and other relatives. To these The Chief tenders its deep sympathy in their 
great bereavement.
