DEATH OF JOS. R. BOUTTE. - Our community was thrown into deepest grief when 
it was announced that popular Joe Boutte, had passed to the great beyond. 
Death had come to end his suffering Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, the skill 
of physicians and loving ministrations of friends could not avail, and the 
inevitable came. His many friends of the fraternal orders of which he was a 
member, performed the beautiful burial rites at the home of the deceased 
Monday evening, from thence the remains were followed by a large concourse 
of sorrowing friends to St. Peter's Catholic Church where the rites of the 
Church were solemnly given, from thence to the Cemetery, where his body was 
consigned to earth, and his spirit to God who gave it. Joseph Boutte was one 
the most respected citizens of Iberia, from a youth he had always borne a 
character for uprightness, intelligence and industry, with these qualities 
he soon became a man among men, and rose to the top of his profession, that 
of a Mechanical Engineer, whose valuable services were often required by the 
largest sugar plants of the State, whose interests he was constantly 
considering resulting in many valuable inventions for the facilitation of 
the manufacture of sugar, one of the most valuable of which was the 
invention of the hollow shaft for Sugar Rollers, the use of which was a 
great relief to Engineers, and a saver of time and vexatious delays. In 
person Mr. Boutte was genial and pleasant, a true friend, a fond father, and 
kind husband, over mindful of his loved ones, who were all in all to him and 
whose future he had in view when joining the different orders, which will 
place in the hands of the family ample means for their maintenance. Farewell 
goodfriend, we shall meet again "over there."
