Long Life Ended.- The death of Mrs. J. D. Montamat on June 9 marked the passing 
of probably the oldest resident of Donaldsonville, she having attained the age 
of 110 years Nov. 23 last. Born in Cuba and reared in the United States, one 
parent having been French and the other Spanish, she felt a pride in being kin 
to four nationalities. She was living in New Orleans in 1812, when the army of 
Jackson defeated the army of Packenham, being then a child of five years, and 
all of her life remembered a number of incidents connected with that famous 
battle. She related that one man was jailed for refusing the use of his cotton 
to Jackson for breastworks, and that one of the street yells of the populace 
was, "We will sweeten Packenham's coffee with gun powder tea, and pack him up 
like pork from Tennessee." Of her four marriages, so far as we have the 
information, the only descendants living are a grandson and granddaughter 
residing at Galvez, in this parish, at which place she was buried.
