SMALL POX. - There has been death from small pox in Donaldsonville this 
week, the victim being the wife of Hon. Pierre Landry, and the only new 
cases are two of Mr. Landry's children. Two children were taken down just 
after Mrs. Landry contracted the disease and one of them should have been 
reported last week, but the case did not come to our knowledge until after 
the Chief had been issued. There are now five small pox patients in town - 
three at Mr. Landry's, Mrs. Antoine Suares and the colored girl "Kioton" and 
we understand that they are all light cases.

We are sincerely sorry to report the death of Mrs. Amanda Landry, wife of 
Hon. Pierre Landry, Representative from this parish in the lower House of 
the General Assembly and Presiding Elder for the Baton Rouge District of the 
Louisiana Conference, M. E. Church. Mrs. Landry died just before daylight 
yesterday morning, of small pox, and owing to the contagious character of 
the disease she was buried shortly afterward. She was a good woman, warmly 
devoted to the interests of her family, and her loss will be keenly felt by 
them. All who were acquainted with the deceased will learn with regret of 
her untimely death.
