DEATH OF CHAS. CLERC.

The sad news of the death of Mr. Charles Clerc in Lake Charles Friday 
morning at three o'clock was received here with profound regret and was a 
shock to his friends and the community. Mr. Clerc had not been in good 
health for many months and his visit to Lake Charles some weeks ago was for 
special treatment in an effort to overcome disease, but the inevitable was 
to be and Mr. Clerc passed on with the great caravon to move to eternal 
reward.

This community has lost in him one of their brightest and best citizens, 
alive to her progress and business life. He represented the firm of J. 
Pollock & Co. of Mobile, Ala., one of the largest wholesale dry goods houses 
in the South with his headquarters here. Mr. Clerc was an active citizen in 
all progressive measures and was always one who could be depended on to take 
the lead in the good and progressive moves in the City. He was an active 
spring in T. P. A. organization of this City, a member of the Knights of 
Columbus and of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, being a member 
of the Board of Directors of the Elks Theatre Co, Ltd., untiring and devoted 
to the various organizations of which he was a member. He was born in this 
City forty-seven years ago spending his youth and early manhood in this 
community, but owing to his business was away from home in later years a 
great deal but resumed his residence here some years past occupying the old 
family home, corner Main and Centor (sic) Streets. Mr. Clerc married a Miss 
McCormick of Lake Charles, and leaves besdes (sic) his wife, his mother, 
Mrs. Josephine Clerc, two sisters, Mrs. Jolesant and Miss Theaux and two 
brothers, Albert and Rene F. Clerc. His remains were taken to New Orleans 
this morning for burial in the family tomb. The funeral taking place from 
the residence of Mr. Joubert No. 15 Morgan Boulevard this afternoon. A 
delegation of the Knights of Columbus and the Elks left here to attend the 
funeral in New Orleans.
