Death of Felix Gauthreaux. - George Felix Gauthreaux, a native of St. James 
parish, but a resident of this city for more than half a century, died at his 
home in St. Patrick street at 3:40 o'clock p. m. last Saturday, the 18th. inst., 
aged seventy-one years, ten months and twenty-five days. Mr. Gauthreaux had been 
in failing health many months, having been confined to his home since sustaining 
an attack of paralysis some time ago, from the effects of which he never fully 
recovered. Up to the time of this unfortunate visitation he led an active life 
and was a familiar figure on the streets of the city, despite the fact that he 
had been partially blind for years and almost wholly bereft of sight for nearly 
a decade past.

Deceased served as organist of the local Catholic church for fifty-five years. 
He was known by every man, woman and child in the community, and was highly 
esteemed as an upright, honorable and patriotic citizen.

The funeral took place at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, with services and 
interment in the Catholic Church and cemetery. The obsequies were conducted by 
Right Rev. Canon J. M. T. Massardier, assisted by Revs. Scramuzzi and Delepine 
and were of a most solemn and impressive nature. A large concourse of sorrowing 
relatives and friends assembled to pay the last sad tribute of respect to the 
memory of the deceased patriarch.

Mr. Gauthreaux is survived by his wife, nee Marie Noemie Landry, of this parish, 
whom he led to the altar Jan. 4, 1859; four daughters, Mrs. P. J. Mathieu of 
Lake Charles, Mrs. Ellis LeBlanc and Mrs. Willie Hebert of Garyville, and Mrs. 
Robert H. McMurray, of Lancaster, S. C.; one brother, Joseph D. Gauthreaux of 
New Orleans; a sister, Sister Philomene of the St. Joseph Academy in New Orleans 
and ten grandchildren. To the bereaved family The Chief begs leave to tender 
assurances of sincere sympathy.
