(Donaldsonville, La.) 1871 - current, September 20, 1913, Image 3 Death of Miss Josephine Goette. - It is with sadness and regret that we chronicle the death of Miss Josephine Goette, daughter of the late Sidonius Goette and Madeline Yaeger, who passed away at the Goette home in Railroad avenue at 4 o'clock last Saturday afternoon, aged forty years, seven months and four days. Deceased had been in ill health for several months and recently underwent a surgical operation at the Touro Infirmary in the hope of benefitting her condition, but to no avail. She continued steadily to fail, and although every means that love and medical science could command was resorted to in the effort to save her life, human agency proved powerless to avert the inevitable end, which came to her peacefully and painlessly last Saturday afternoon. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church at 2 o'clock p. m. Sunday, after which interment (sic) was made in the Goette family tomb in the Catholic cemetery. Sorrowing friends attended the obsequies in large numbers and laid fragrant flowers on the casket, tributes of love to one whose memory will ever be fondly cherished. Miss Goette is survived by three brothers, namely: Sidonius Goette, president and manager of the Donaldsonville Ice Co., Ltd.; Henry Goette, chief engineer of that concern, and August Goette, and two sisters, Mrs. Fred. Rogge, Sr., and Mrs. Fred. Werner, Sr. In common with a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, The Chief extends its sincere sympathy to the bereaved family.
