Former Ascensionite Dies Suddenly. - Louis Melancon, formerly of Smoke Bend, 
but for the past several years a resident of Avondale, died at his home 
there at 12:15 a. m. Wednesday as the result of a sudden attack of illness. 
He was in the employ of an oil company and had arisen as usual shortly 
before midnight to go to work, when he remarked to his wife that he felt 
unwell, complaining particulary (sic) of a severe pain in the chest. As he 
seemed to be suffering acutely one of his sons was aroused and hurriedly 
despatched (sic) for a doctor. It soon became evident that Mr. Melancon was 
desperately ill and another son was sent for the priest, but before either 
message could be responded to the sufferer expired. His body was brought to 
Donaldsonville Wenesday (sic) afternoon on T. & P. train No. 23 and was 
conveyed to the residence of Mr. Melancon's only sister, Mrs. Vileor Landry, 
in Smoke Bend, from whence the funeral took place Thursday forenoon at 10 
o'clock. Services were held at the St. Francis of Assisium Church in Smoke 
Bend, Rev. Father Loots officiating, after which interment was made in the 
Doanldsonville Catholic cemetery. Mr. Melancon is survived by his wife and 
five children, namely: Miss Ada Melancon, of Gold Mine plantation, St. John 
parish; Henry A. Melancon, a member of the Washington Artillery; Leon, 
Aubert and Melanie Melancon. Their grief is shared by a number of other 
relatives and family connections in Ascension parish, as well as a wide 
circle of sorrowing friends and acquaintances.
