parish, at the age of 64 years. The funeral took place from St. Peters

IN MEMORIAM.

Post "G" of New Iberia, La., T. P. A., announces with great sorrow the death 
of Capt. A. D. Blanc, a valuable member and an active participant in the 
affairs of the Association.

His hearty co-operation with and his sincere support of the aims and objects 
of the Post, make his loss at this time greatly felt and much deplored. The 
faith he had in to day and the hope displayed in the future were an 
inspiration to his associates.

His optimism among his comrades and the sunshine of his nature during the 
perplexities and dark hours of trouble and confusion were a power and as 
well a strength to overcome all obstructions and obstacles in the pathway of 
duty.

A scion of one of the oldest families of this country, he bore well the 
burden and responsibility as father and husband. Surrounded by the respect 
and dignity of a numerous family, and the sanctity of a  pure and happy 
home, he felt no terrors at the approaching signs of dissolution. Strickened 
by the fatal touch of an incurable malady, he faced with fortitude and 
resignation, with courage and many determination, without murmur or 
complaint, the tortures and pain the affliction visited upon him.

Words and expressions are powerless to dissipate the poignant grief of his 
immediate surroundings, nor can the extending of sympathy and condolence 
wipe out or dry up one sorrow produced tear from those crushed by the 
misfortune.

But the hand of Frienship, sincerely reflecting the sentiment of the heart 
and conscience of Post "G", will inevitably hasten the time when we can only 
remember the incident of a pre ordained and God sanctioned course of human 
life and existence.

May the strength and faith he vouch-safed to the wife and children to 
overcome the gloom and despair, and immerge into the sunshine of the 
holiness of human life.

Co:
Chas. W. Outhwaite,
Albert Decourt,
Louis Pfister.
