The death of the venerable Mr. Gervia Boudreaux last Thursday morning which occurred at his home on Lourd's lane at 7:30 o'clock A. M. cast a gloom in the hearts of his numerous friends and relatives throughout the Parish. Mr. Boudreaux had reached his eighty-fifth milestone and enjoyed remarkable health until the morning that Grim Reaper invaded his home. He was a native of Lafourche parish and settled in Little Fausse Pointe many years ago. About a year since he sold his possessions and removed to New Iberia. His change of residence in his advanced years prayed on his mind to such an extent recently that he had to be kept under close surveilance (sic) by members of his family. Besides his aged devoted widow, he leaves six daughters and four sons to mourn his demise. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Langlois on Friday morning at eleven o'clock. source: The Weekly Iberian.
