Death of Mrs. Sidonius Goette. - A pall of gloom was cast over this 
community yesterday morning by the announcement of the death of Mrs. 
Sidonius Goette, nee Josephine Sobral, who passed into the Great Beyond at 
9:10 o'clock Thursday night after an illness of only a few days. The sad 
intelligence came as a distinct shock to the legion of friends of this 
estimable and popular woman, for while it was known that she was suffering 
with a severe attack of pneumonia and that her recovery was problematical, 
hopes were entertained that by the grace of a merciful Providence she would 
rally from the attack and be spared to her family and friends for many years 
to come. All that medical science could suggest or the most tender and 
assiduous care accomplish was done in an effort to check the ravages of the 
dread disease and restore the patient to health, but without avail, the 
Angel of Death finally emerging victorious from the unequal contest. All 
that was mortal of the lamented lady was laid to rest in the Goette tomb in 
the Catholic cemetery at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, following impressive 
services at the Church of the Sacred Heart, Rev. L. G. Baudin officiating. 
The funeral obsequies were attended by an unusually large concourse of 
sorrowing relatives and friends, attesting the high degree of esteem and 
admiration in which deceased was held by all who had the pleasure of knowing 
her.

Mrs. Goette was a native of this town and had resided here since her 
marriage several years ago. She was gifted with an attractive and engaging 
personality and an exceptionally keen and cultured intellect, and was 
adorned with all the charms and graces of perfect womanhood. Her untimely 
demise will carry profound grief and lasting regret into many households and 
create a void in the hearts of her relatives and friends that naught but 
time can heal or the Great Creator assuage.

The surviving relatives include her husband, two little children - a son, 
Carl Conrad, and an infant daughter, Evaline; her father, A. M. Sobral; two 
sisters, Mrs. Peter Stifft of New Orleans and Miss Jacinta Sobral, and three 
brothers, Fred Sobral of Whitecastle, Joseph Sobral of Baton Rouge, and 
Antoine Sobral of Donaldsonville. To these afflicted ones The Chief begs 
leave to tender assurances of sincere sympathy.
