Death of David Israel, Sr. - David Israel, Sr., a native and life-long resident 
of this city, died at his home in Chetimaches street at 4:30 o'clock Monday 
afternoon, aged sixty-three years and ten months. Mr. Israel had been in poor 
health for a long time and went to New Orleans some weeks ago for medical 
treatment, but it was found nothing could be done for him and he returned home 
to await the end. The funeral took place Tuesday after-noon at 5 o'clock and was 
largely attended, among the concourse of sorrowing friends who accompanied the 
remains to their last resting place being a delegation of members of the local 
A.O.U.W. lodge, of which deceased had been a member for years, and uniformed 
fireman representing all the companies composing the local department. Services 
were held at the Catholic church, Rev. J.M.T. Massardier officiating, and 
interment was made in the family tomb in the Catholic cemetery.

Mr. Israel was one of Donaldsonville's oldest and most prominent citizens, and 
at different times in the past had held the positions of chief deputy sheriff of 
Ascension parish, mayor of Donaldsonville, deputy United States revenue 
collector and postmaster of this city. He was one of the organizers of Ascension 
Hook and Ladder Fire Company, and had served as secretary of that organization 
for more than thirty years. At the time of his death he was lessee of the 
Donaldsonville wharf. He was a staunch Republican in politics, and in years past 
had been a candidate for various parochial and district offices on the ticket of 
that party.

Mr. Israel is survived by one daughter, Miss Adele Israel, and two sons, Chester 
R. Israel, of Biloxi, Miss., and Leslie Israel, of Crowley, to whom the sympathy 
of the entire community is extended.
