Death of Arthur Michel. - Arthur P. Michel died at his home on Belle Terre 
plantation at 3:30 o'clock p. m. last Sunday, aged 58 years, 5 months and 18 
days. Mr. Michel was a native of this parish and had been employed as an 
overseer on Belle Terre for the past twenty-seven years, being regarded as 
one of the most efficient cultivators of the soil and able handlers of labor 
in this section of the state. J. Elphege LeBlanc, manager of Belle Terre, 
had been associated with Mr. Michel for twenty-six years, and reports that 
during all that time the relations existing between him and his assistant 
were of the most friendly nature and that Mr. Michel never failed to perform 
his every duty in a most thorough and satisfactory manner. Mr. Michel had 
been sick for only a few days with pneumonia and may probably have 
recovered, but the death of his devoted wife Thursday of last week greatly 
aggravated his condition and made the end inevitable. His remains were laid 
to rest in the Donaldsonville Catholic cemetery at 4 o'clock Monday 
afternoon, being placed beside those of the noble woman who for over twenty-
five years had been at his side in sunshine and shadow, in calm and storm, 
and who had been to him all that a loyal woman can be to a devoted husband. 
Mr. Michel is survived br (sic) one son, Arthur P. Michel, Jr., three 
daughters, Irene, Marie and Adele Michel, four brothers, Ozeme, Joseph, 
Homer and Francois Michel, and four sisters, Widow Baptiste Mollere, Mrs. 
Arthur Gauthreaux, and Misses Lise and Carmelite Michel. To the stricken 
family and more particularly to the bereaved children, who within one short 
week were deprived of the tender protection of a devoted father and a loving 
mother, The Chief tenders assurances of the most profound sympathy.
