AUGUST C. BOAS.

It is with deep regret we chronicle the death of the venerable Mr. August C. 
Boas, which occurred at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Leon P. Bagarry last 
Saturday morning at 3:30 o'clock A. M. Mr. Boas had been identified with New 
Iberia almost continuously since coming to this country and followed the 
occupation of machinist, in fact for a number of years he was the chief 
mechanic in the large foundry of the late F. S. Lutzenberg and which later was 
taken over by the late Mr. George Simon. During the later years of his career 
he operated a gun repair shop and was an expert in that line of endeavor. He 
was born in the year 1844 and came to this country when a lad of seventeen. He 
was a life-long member of the Odd Fellows Order and for the past seven years 
was an ardent member of the local Order of Elks. He leaves to mourn his demise 
a daughter, Mrs. L. P. Bagarry and one son, Mr. William Boas of Baton Rouge and 
several grand-daughters. The funeral services was conducted at the home on 
Washington Avenue by the Elk Lodge and also by Rev. Paradis of the Presbyterian 
church on Saturday afternoon at 6:30, after which the remains were interred in 
his burial plot in the Catholic cemetery.
