Mrs. V. Melancon Passes Away. - Mrs. Victorin Melancon, a native and life-
time resident of Ascension parish, died at her home on the east bank of the 
river in the fifth ward at 1:20 o'clock Thursday morning, after an illness 
of nearly four years' duration, aged 77 years, 5 months and 18 days. She was 
the widow of the late V. Melancon, for many years chief sugar-boiler of the 
Godchaux Company's big Reserve refinery in St. John parish, and was a woman 
of strong character and lovable disposition - a true Christian in the 
highest sense of the term. The circle of her devoted admirers and 
affectionate friends included all who had the good fortune to know her, and 
her place in the hearts of those she leaves behind will long remain 
unfilled. The funeral took place Friday forenoon, the cortege leaving the 
family residence, one mile and a half above Darrow, at 8 o'clock, and 
arriving at the Catholic cemetery after impressive services at the church 
and grave. Mrs. Melancon is survived by one son, Justice of the Peace Leo 
Melancon, and a daughter, Mrs. August Landry, both highly esteemed residents 
of the Darow community. To them profound sympathy is extended in the hour of 
their affliction.
