EDWARD P. RAMIREZ DIES SUDDENLY ON MONDAY MORNING. - Well Known Young Business 
Man and Highly Esteemed Here Has Passed to Beyond. - This community was greatly 
shocked last Monday when the news was received that Edward P. Ramirez, cashier 
of the Netter department store, had suddenly died at his home in Port Barrow. He 
was 36 years, 11 months, and 3 days old at the time of his death.

On Monday morning, while on his way to the Netter store, he had reached the 
postoffice (sic) and felt sick. He at once returned to his home in Port Barrow 
and upon arriving there told his wife that he was not feeling well; that he had 
a pain in his chest. He chatted and played with his children for some time and 
finally went into the garden, where he spoke with a man employed as gardener and 
told him he was not feeling well. He shortly returned to the house and drank two 
glasses of water and then went to bed about 9:30 a. m. Shortly thereafter he was 
seized with a convulsion, which was followed by another and then he expired at 
10:30 a. m.

The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock from the family residence 
with services at the Catholic church in Donaldsonville, Rev. Father Chambon 
officiating. The internment took place in the Catholic cemetery. A large 
concourse of citizens from all walks of life attended and the order of Red Men, 
of which deceased was a member, conducted services at the grave.

Deceased was held in the highest of esteem and loved by hundreds of citizens of 
this city and the surrounding country. For seventeen years he had been a 
valuable attache (sic) of the Netter department store, serving as cashier of 
that institution. He was industrious and attended to his work faithfully caring 
attentively to every detail. His employers and co-employes (sic) of the Netter 
store were greatly affected at his sudden death, as he was loved by all with 
whom he was associated. His employer expressed great sorrow on hearing the news 
and said Mr. Ramirez was considered almost as a brother in the store. He was a 
devoted husband and an affectionate father and a good neighbor. His untimely 
death is mourned by all who knew him and came as a great shock, although 
deceased had been more or less ailing for some time, it was not thought his 
condition was serious. His death is attributed to fatness about the heart.

Deceased is survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ramirez; his 
widow and two little daughters, Winona and Margery; two brother, Fred and Morris 
Ramirez, and six sisters, Mrs. Richard Walsh, Mrs. T. Thibodaux, Misses Genevia, 
Onita, Lacy and Selma Ramirez. he was a son-in-law of Captain M. F. Bradford, of 
the Bradford Transportation Company of New Orleans. He was a member of the 
Ascension Council, Knights of Columbus; Mohawk Tribe, I.O.R.M.: Olive Camp, 
W.O.W., and was active in many social and civic organizations of this community.

The Chief, with hundreds of others in this city, extends its deepest sympathy to 
the family and relatives of deceased in their bereavement.
