Death of Joseph N. Gaudet. - Joseph N. Gaudet, a native of St. James parish, 
died at his home at St. John at 9 o'clock last Saturday forenoon; after an 
illness of short duration, aged sixty-three years. During his boyhood Mr. 
Gaudet was a student of Springhill College, at Mobile, Ala., and at the 
outbreak of the civil war he departed from that institution to enlist in the 
Confederate army. He served as a member of the Ratcliff Cavalry throughout 
the sanguinary struggle, and acquitted himself with marked valor and bravery 
on many a bloody field of battle. Mr. Gaudet's remains were interred in the 
family tomb at St. John Wednesday morning, the obsequies being attended by a 
large gathering of friends and relatives. Besides his wife, he is survived 
by a sister, Mrs. B. Rybiski, of this city, and a brother, Charles N. 
Gaudet, of New Orleans. Mr. and Mrs. Rybiski and their daughter, Miss Marie 
Rybiski, attended the funeral.

Mr Joseph N Gaudet, of Edgard, died Tuesday morning at his residence, after 
an illness of short duration. Mr Gaudet was born in St James parish 63 years 
ago, his parents being Ursin Gaudet and Carmelite LeBlanc, members of 
prominent families of that parish. Young Gaudet was educated at Spring Hill 
College of Mobile, Alabama. Returning home he joined Captain Ratcliff's 
Company, of Lafourche, and served during the remainder of the war. After the 
conflict, Mr Gaudet's services as manager and overseer of sugar plantations 
were much in demand, and he was for some years in the employ of the late 
Leon Godchaux.

His first wife was Miss Lucie Lanoix, who died soon after their marriage. In 
1895 Mr Gaudet moved to this parish where he has resided since. For many 
years deceased was the traveling representative of the Singer Sewing Machine 
Company, and, as such was known by many residents of the Coast. After 
establishing his residence here, Mr Gaudet married Mrs Corinne Marie Barre, 
who survives him.

Deceased leaves a brother, Mr C W Gaudet, a well-known druggist of New 
Orleans and a sister, Mrs Cecile Rybisky of Donaldsonville, and two half-
brothers, J H and Philip Mathieu of Lake Charles, La.

The funeral services were held at St John the Baptist Church, Rev Father 
Prudhomme officiating. The remains were laid to rest in the Barre tomb.

To the bereaved family we offer our sincere sympathy.
