Death of Mrs. Santiago Truxillo.

After months of suffering from an incurable disease, Mrs. Santiago Truxillo, nee 
Corinne Arceneaux, passed away at her husband's home in Houmas street at 1 
o'clock a.m. last Monday, aged forty-one years, seven months and twenty-six 
days. Practically every heart in Donaldsonville experienced a keen pang of 
sorrow when the announcement of the death of this estimable young woman was 
made, and the pall of gloom that shadows the community is the unconscious 
tribute of respect which the living are paying to the memory of one so worthy of 
remembrance and regard.

Every resource at the command of medical science, supplemented by the most 
skillful and tender nursing, was employed in an effort to check the ravages of 
the dread disease to which Mrs. Truxillo had fallen a victim, but the most 
earnest efforts of the physicians and nurses proved unavailing to avert the end 
ordained by the Omnipotent Ruler of the Universe. Although her sufferings at 
times were of a most excruciating nature, Mrs. Truxillo bore her burden of pain 
with true Christian fortitude and bravery, and no murmur of complaint was heard 
to pass he [sic] lips. She was taken to New Orleans some months ago in the hope 
that something could be done by the eminent physicians of that city to alleviate 
her condition, but the hope proved futile and recently she was brought back to 
her home to await the end.

The final scene in the drama was enacted Monday afternoon, when all that was 
mortal of the lamented young matron was tenderly laid to rest in the Catholic 
cemetery, after impressive services at Ascension church. Rev. J.M.T. Massardier 
officiated at the obsequies, and the size of the funeral cortege testified to 
the esteem and admiration in which the deceased was held in this community, and 
indicated the degree of sorrow and regret occasioned by her untimely demise.

Mrs. Truxillo is survived by her husband and nine children, the eldest of whom 
is only sixteen years of age. They are: Misses Stella, Corrine, Cecile, Lucille, 
Della and Emily, and Masters Harvey, Clarence and James. She also leaves three 
sisters, Mrs. Arthur Veron, Mrs. Sim Rousseau, and Miss Laura Arceneaux, and two 
brothers, Messrs. Florian and Laurent Arceneaux., all of whom reside in Smoke 
Bend.

To these afflicted ones The Chief tenders its warmest sympathy.
