Abraham Klotz. - Abraham Klotz,  a prominent merchant, planter and citizen 
of Assumption parish, died on Wednesday, March 27, at Asheville, N. C., 
where he had gone in the hope of benefitting his health. His remains were 
interred in the tomb of the Army of Northern Virginia, at New Orleans, on 
Friday morning, the 29th ultimo, the funeral being attended by a large 
concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. Mr. Klotz was a native of 
Uhrviller, Alsace, and was seventy years, eleven months and seventeen days 
of age. He came to Louisiana in 1851, and served throughout the civil war as 
a member of the famous Donaldsonville Cannoneers, commanded by the late 
Capt. Victor Maurin. His business ventures proved uniformly successful, and 
he was looked upon as one of the most progressive and best-informed sugar 
planters in the state, as well as an upright citizen and devoted husband and 
father. He is survived by his wife, five grown children and a number of 
other relatives.

ABRAHAM KLOTZ. - Died - At Asheville, North Carolina, March 27, 1907, Abraham 
Klotz, veteran of the Donaldsonville Artillery, and a member of the Benevolent 
Association, A. N. V., Camp No. 1.

The committee named by this association to report on the death of Comrade A. 
Klotz wish to submit as follows: That Abraham Klotz enlisted in the 
Donaldsonville Artillery at the commencement of hostilities in the year 1861. 
That it was his fortune to be present with the historic command in all of its 
campaigns, from Yorktown to Appomatox [sic]. That his soldierly bearing in camp, 
on the march and on the battle field won commendation from his comrades. His 
cheerful willingness to strive for the cause he had espoused, unto the last, was 
specially noted. After his return home from the war, and to the time of his 
death, he was known for the love he bore that same cause, and which he had 
fought so gallantly to uphold; also for his charitable disposition towards 
brother-Confederates. His uppermost and often expressed wish was that his 
remains be laid to rest with those of departed comrades in the tomb of the Army 
of Northern Virginia.

Resolved, That this association mourns the loss of a valued member, who up to 
the last call, had always taken great interest in its welfare.

Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing be addressed to the family of our 
departed comrade.

I.A. COMSTOCK,
JNO. S. MIOTON,
R. OCTAVE LANDRY.
