Death of Ulgere Prejean. - Ulgere Prejean, a native and life-long resident 
of Assumption parish, died at his home on the west bank of Bayou Lafourche, 
about five miles below Donaldsonville, at 6 o'clock a. m. Tuesday, the 29th 
ult., aged eighty-one years, eight months and seventeen days. His remains 
were laid to rest in the local Catholic cemetery at 9 o'clock Wednesday 
forenoon, after impressive services at the Church of the Sacred Heart, the 
funeral obsequies being attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives 
and friends.

planters of this section of the state, and was noted for his strength of 
character and attractive personality. He led the life of an upright, 
honorable Christian gentleman during his long and notable career, and earned 
the highest esteem and unqualified respect of all with whom he came in 
contact.

The surviving relatives include a widow, three sons, S. Prejean of Half-Way 
plantation, and Elphege and Jack Prejean of Plattenville; four daughters, 
Mrs. Joseph Beille of Port Barrow, Mrs. Emile Bourgeois of Plaquemine, Mrs. 
Adam Ruiz of Brusly Maurin, and Mrs. Leonard Smith of Magnolia plantation, 
Plaquemines parish; three sisters, all residents of Lafourche parish; fifty-
two grandchildren and twenty-one great grandchildren. To these afflicted 
ones The Chief, in common with the host of friends of the deceased 
patriarch, begs leave to tender sincere and profound sympathy.
