Death of Matthias Rodriguez.

Matthias Rodriguez, the oldest resident of Brusly Sacremento, and one of the 
most venerable citizens of the parish, died at his home in the Brusly settlement 
at 1 o'clock a.m. Tuesday, aged eighty-seven years, ten months and eleven days. 
Despite his advance age Mr. Rodriguez had been in good health up to a short 
while ago, and his many friends and acquaintances throughout the parish were 
shocked to learn of his demise.

He was born in Ascension parish, and had resided all his life in Brusly 
Sacremento, where he cultivated a tract of land. He represented the second ward 
in the policy jury many years ago, and also served as a member of the parish 
school board, relinquishing the latter position in 1908.

His remains were brought to Donaldsonville Wednesday morning and interred in the 
local Catholic cemetery, after services at the St. Francis of Assisium Catholic 
church in Smoke Bend.

Deceased had been married twice but was a widower at the time of his death. He 
is survived by two sons and five daughters, namely: Antoine Rodriguez, of Brusly 
Sacremento, a well-known sugar boiler; Matthias Rodriguez, Jr., a farmer 
residing back of Whitecastle; Mrs. Peter Coullot, Mrs. Gustave Lallande, Mrs. 
Adam Dugas and Miss Rosalie Rodriguez, all of Brusly Sacremento, and Mrs. Dennis 
Gomez, of Amesville.

Mr. Rodriguez was an upright conscientious and hard-working man, and throughout 
his long and honorable career enjoyed in highest measure the esteem and 
admiration of his friends and neighbors, and the respect and confidence of all 
with whom he had business dealings. His death is mourned by a wide circle of 
friends and acquaintances, who unite the extending sincere sympathy to the 
bereaved family.
