Died. - GAUDIN - At his residence in the parish of Ascension, La., a mile 
below Donaldsonville, on Thursday, June 7, 1883, at 12:40 P. M., EDWARD 
GAUDIN, aged 61 years, 5 months and 7 days.

Deceased was one of the oldest and most highly esteemed native citizens and 
sugar planters of this parish, and the intelligence of his death carries 
with it a pang of regret to the hearts of all who knew him. Genial, just, 
generous and warm hearted, he was universally respected and beloved, and his 
loss will be felt not alone within the circle of his sorrowing kindred, but 
among all classes of our people, from the humblest up to those holding 
highest rank in the social scale. The whole community mourns when such a man 
has passed away, and well may we regret him, for the places of men like 
Edward Gaudin are hard to fill. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon 
and was attended by a large concourse of the relatives and friends of the 
lamented deceased, including delegations of Ascension Hook and Ladder 
Company and Phoenix Steam Fire Company, of which organizations Mr. Gaudin 
was an honorary member, and the Independent Brass Band, of which he was 
godfather.
