Death of Prosper Plaisance. - As briefly recounted in last week's Chief, the sad 
announcement was received here Saturday forenoon of the death of Prosper 
Plaisance, for many years a successful merchant of Barton, but who for the past 
several months had been making his home at Bogalusa with his son-in-law and 
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Breitling. Mr. Plaisance had been an invalid since 
shortly after his removal from Ascension, following a paralytic stroke with 
which he was afflicted last winter, and his death was therefore not entirely 
unexpected, although proving none the less a distinct shock to his devoted 
family and scores of friends. He was a man of the strictest integrity in every 
relationship of life, honorable and upright in all his dealings with his fellow-
man and of most attractive personality and kindly disposition. These qualities 
won him the respect, confidence and esteem of his friends, neighbors and 
business acquaintances and the regret occasioned by his demise was widespread 
and sincere.

The remains were brought to Donaldsonville on the T.& P. train arriving here at 
3:05 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and after services at Ascension Church were laid 
to rest in the Catholic cemetery.

Mr. Plaisance, who had attained the age of sixty-eight years, is survived by two 
sons, George M. Plaisance, of Birmingham, Ala., and D.W. Plaisance, of New 
Orleans; two daughters, Mrs. Rufus Breitling, of Bogalusa, and Miss Rose 
Plaisance; two sisters, Mrs. George Schepp and Mrs. A. Tanguis, of New Orleans; 
and three brothers, Messrs. Ferdinand and Florian Plaisance, of St. James, and 
Alfred Plaisance, of New Orleans. Many sorrowing friends extend profound 
sympathy to the bereaved family.

Among the relatives in attendance at the funeral of Prosper Plaisance last 
Sunday afternoon were Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Breitling and infant son, Wilber, of 
Bogalusa; Mrs. George Schepp and sons, George and Charles, Mrs. A. Tanguis, Miss 
Rose Plaisance, D.W. Plaisance and Alfred Plaisance, of New Orleans, and 
Ferdinand and Florian Plaisance, of St. James.
