JOHN EKPHEGE. - In the death of John Elphege LeBlanc, which occurred last night 
at 7:30 o'clock, New Orleans looses one of its most worthy citizens.

Mr. LeBlanc always evidenced an interest in the welfare of the city and State, 
and for two years was the president of the pelico jury of Assumption, serving 
that body with an unexampled fidollty (sic), zest, and intelligence. He was an 
enthuslastic (sic) Knight of Honor, and for two terms he was the Grand Dictator.

Mr. LeBlanc was born in St. Kames Parish in 1841, and was educated at Cape 
Ciradeau, MO. After his college days he became connected with a sugar 
plantation, and when the war broke out he enlisted in a Louisiana regiment and 
served with distinction. 

After the war he became the manager of the Benjamin Tureau sugar plantation, and 
afterward managed several other plantations.

Many years ago he married Miss Amelia Bortequt [Bertaut], of St. James Parish, who 
survives him with nine children. His sons are: Captain J.V. LeBlanc, of the 
steamer J.E. Trudeau; Louis, manager of the Half Way Plantation, in Assumption 
Parish; Casimir, Fernan, George, Lawrence, Misses Theresa and Louise and Mrs. 
Louis Duhon. His brothers are J. Prosper, J. Etol and Philip W. LeBlanc.

Mr. LeBlancs body was conveyed from his late residence, 1501 S. Anthony street, 
to the Mississippi Valley train which left at 8:15 o'clock this morning and on 
the arrival of the train at Donaldsonville the funeral will take place.
