possession of the Lacroix plantation in the fourth ward, which she inherited 
from a relative. Mrs. Rateau's husband, to whom she was married in France prior 
to coming to this country, preceded her to the grave some three years ago. Her 
surviving relatives include eight grandchildren, Marie, Marguerite, Jeanne, 
Isabelle, Maurice and Robert LeBlanc, of New Orleans, and Misses Marie and 
Celine Rateau, of lower Ascension, and one nephew, Joseph Rateau, of New 
Orleans.

The funeral took place Monday after-noon, services being held in the Catholic 
church in this city at 4:30 o'clock, followed by interment in the family tomb in 
the Catholic cemetery.

To the bereaved family The Chief begs leave to tender assurances of sincere 
sympathy.
