(Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, April 29, 1922, Image 3 Sam Pinel Passes Away. - Sam Pinel, well-known citizen and carpenter of this city, died as his home in St. Patrick street Wednesday night at 9:30 o'clock, from the effects of injuries which he sustained in a fall Friday of last week, aged 63 years and 9 months. While at work on a new building which he was erecting for Julien Bartholomey in Claiborne street, he fell to the ground from a high elevation, and sustained painful injuries to his right hip, and three broken ribs. He was removed to his home and given prompt attention, and his condition was not considered serious at the time; but it seems that he sustained internal injuries and these togeth with the great shock proved too much for his constitution, and despite the fact that everything possible was done to relieve him he grew worse until he finally passed away. Deceased was a skilled carpenter and builder; a hard-working, steady and industrious man, a good citizen and enjoyed the confidence and respect of the entire community. His death, under such painful circumstances, was a great shock to his large circle of friends. the funeral took place Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock, with services at the Catholic church and interment in the Catholic cemetery, and was largely attended by sorrowing relatives and friends. Deceased is survived by one son and three daughters, namely, Furnest Pinel of Harahan, Mrs. Wm. Hebert and Mrs. Jos. Vavaseur of this city and Mrs. Emile Dewally of Harahan. The Chief condoles with them in their sorrow.
