Death of Antonio Ourso. - Antonio Pantaleon Ourso, one of the oldest and 
most highly esteemed residents of the Brusly McCall settlement, died at 1 
o'clock p. m. Monday, aged seventy-six years, two months and seven days. Mr. 
Ourso had been in poor health for several years, and while his death was not 
unexpected, still the sad announcement brought poignant pain to his devoted 
family and wide circle of friends. Funeral services were held Tuesday 
afternoon at the St. Francis of Assisium Catholic church in Smoke Bend, and 
interment was made in the family tomb in the Donaldsonville Catholic 
cemetery. The impressive obsequies were conducted by Rev. A. Lutz, pastor of 
the Smoke Bend church, and a very large gathering of relatives and friends 
accompanied the remains of the lamented patriarch to their last resting 
place. Industrious, straightforward, public-spirited and charitable, Mr. 
Ourso measured up to the highest standards of citizenship throughout his 
long and honorable career, and leaves behind him the glorious heritage of a 
good name and a well spent life. He enjoyed the fullest confidence and 
esteem of all with whom he came in contact and his memory will long be 
cherished. Besides his venerable wife, nee Euphemie Gonzales, who had been 
his faithful companion and helpmate for the long span of fifty-five years, 
Mr. Ourso is survived by three sons, Messrs. Frank, Joseph and Melisee 
(Bill) Ourso, and two daughters, Miss Mary Ourso and Mrs. Anatole Babin. The 
Chief tenders its profound sympathy to the bereaved family.
