RAMIREZ - At his residence, in Donaldsonville, parish of Ascension, on 
Saturday, the 14th day of August, 1886, Ernest Ramirez, aged 36 years, 10 
months and 4 days.

The deceased was a native and resident of Donaldsonville. For about five 
months he had suffered from that most fatal of all diseases, consumption, 
but with fortitude he had borne up against the stealthy approach of death, 
neither losing courage nor allowing the recollection of his duties as a 
christian and the father of a family to escape him. Only taking to his bed 
two days before his death, he remained conscious until the very last 
moments, employed in bidding adieu to his wife and little children, in whose 
hearts his demise leaves a void never to be filled. The remains were 
followed to their last resting place by many friends and relatives and a 
detachment of his old comrades, the Cannoneers of Donaldson in citizens' 
dress. The funeral services were performed by the Rev. Father Dubernard of 
the Catholic Church of Ascension.
