Venerable Citizen Mourned. - "Let the bell toll; another noble soul has 
crossed the Stygian river." Jerome Landry, a venerable and highly esteemed 
citizen of the first ward, died at his home near Modeste Tuesday morning at 
the age of 73 years, and his remains were consigned to their last resting 
place Wednesday forenoon, following services at the St. Francis of Assisium 
church in Smoke Bend. Deceased was a veteran of the civil war, having served 
with gallantry and distinction as a member of Co. H, 28th Louisiana 
Regiment, and his body was interred in the tomb of Major Victor Maurin Camp 
No. 38, U. C. V., in the local Catholic cemetery. Although poor in wordly 
wealth and of humble station in life, he was richly endowed with the 
virture's and qualities that make up nature's noblemen, and stood high in 
the esteem and affection of his friends and neighbors. He and his good wife, 
who is left to mourn his loss, reared five children not their own, of whom 
one, Miss Zulma Landry, remains to comfort the aged widow in her desolation.
