DEATH OF LOUIS K. FERRIER. - At an early hour last Sunday morning, Louis K. 
Ferrier, son of Jos. L. Ferrier and E. Icard, departed this life at the age 
of 21 years. Deceased had been suffering for several months with a tumor on 
the neck, and death was a release from a life of incessant bodily pain. The 
young man had been a resident of Donaldsonville for five or six years, and 
was well known to nearly every inhabitant of the town. The funeral took 
place Monday morning, from the residence of deceased's father and was 
largely attended by the friends and relatives of the young man and his 
family. The Silver Cornet Band accompanied the procession to the grave, 
playing beautiful dirges they had learned for the occasion. The scene at the 
grave was very affecting, the sobs of the female mourners touching the 
hearts of all present; and especially heartrending was the poignant grief of 
the young lady to whom the deceased had been betrothed. The sympathy of all 
was with her, and we doubt not many a silent prayer was uttered that the 
blight which had fallen upon her young life might soon be eradicated by the 
healing hand of time. Young Ferrier died universally regretted, as he 
possessed a warm heart and many fine qualities, and made friends wherever he 
went. May he rest in peace.
