Death of Wilfred Rodriguez. - After many months of suffering from an 
incurable malady, Wilfred E. Rodriguez passed away at 11:30 o'clock last 
night at the home of his parents in Faubourg la Pipe, aged 23 years, 2 
months and 8 days. While his death was not unexpected, it caused profound 
sorrow among his wide circle of friends, who hoped to the last that through 
the gracious intervention of a merciful providence the young man might be 
miraculously restored to health and permitted to continue a career so 
auspiciously begun and that gave promise of continuing much happiness and 
honor. Mr. Rodriguez graduated from the St. Joseph Commercial Institute in 
this city with the class of 1912, and a year or so later went to New Orleans 
and secured a position as clerk in the St. Charles Hotel. His health began 
to fail shortly afterward, and about eighteen months ago, on the advice of 
physicians, he returned home. A young man of admirable habits, unusual 
strength of character, and affable personality, he enjoyed the unqualified 
respect and esteem of all who had the pleasure of knowing him, and leaves a 
heritage of rectitude of conduct and faithfulness to life's obligations that 
cannot fail to be a solace to the loved ones bereaved by his untimely 
demise. The funeral will take place this afternoon at :30 o'clock, with 
services and interment in the Catholic church and cemetery. Besinly (sic) 
his father, Prosper Rodriguez, Sr., deceased is survived by five brothers 
and four sisters, namely: Prosper, ulysses, John, Sam. and Mollere 
Rodriguez, Mrs. henry J. Loisel, Mrs. Anna Morgan, and Misses Jeanne and 
Angele Rodriguez.
