Death of Lazard Leumas. - Lazard Leumas, aged forty-nine years, a native of 
Lafayette, La., but a resident of this city since childhood, died suddenly from 
an attack of heart failure at 9:50 o'clock last Saturday morning while engaged 
in operating the newspaper press in the office of the Donaldsonville Democrat. 
Suddenly throwing up his hand and at the same time calling the first name of 
Almire LeBlanc, foreman of the establishment, he fell on his back to the floor 
and without uttering another sound or making another movement passed peacefully 
away before medical assistance could reach him. Dr. Tuite Hanson, who was 
immediately summoned, pronounced heart disease as the cause of death, and this 
diagnosis was confirmed by Dr. Paul T. Thibodaux, coroner, who arrived shortly 
afterward and held an inquest over the body.

The remains were conveyed to the residence of Jules Leumas, a brother of the 
deceased, from whence the funeral took place at 10:30 o'clock Sunday forenoon, 
with services at the house and interment in the Jewish cemetery, Raphael Singer 
officiating. The pall-bearers were James Von Lotten of The Chief, Judge Edmund 
Maurin of the Democrat, Jacob Blum, August Goette, F.B. Lemann and Jasmin 
Tobias.

Lazard Leumas was a hard-working, industrious man, and, in his humble sphere, a 
good, law-abiding citizen. Although one of God's afflicted, he made himself 
useful in a number of ways, and was better known and perhaps more generally 
liked than many men who are gifted with all their faculties or make greater 
pretension to rank and ability than did he. He was quiet and peaceful in his 
demeanor, earnest in his efforts to please and ever ready to be of service, and 
there are many people in this community - men, women and children alike - who 
will miss him sorely and hold his memory in tender regard.

Deceased was connected with this paper off and on for thirty years or more in 
the capacity of pressman and carrier, and had done similar service for a long 
period with the Donaldsonville Times and Donaldsonville Democrat. he was 
faithful in the discharge of his duties and upright in his business dealings 
with his employers and all men, and more than this cannot be said in praise of 
any man.

The surviving relatives are two brothers Jules and Joseph Leumas, to whom 
profound sympathy is extended.
