IN MEMORIAM.

After a short interval of eight weeks, the home of Mrs. Murat Decoux was again visited
by death, who this time, claimed as its victim, the devoted husband and kind loving
father, Mr. Murat Decoux. It would seem that grief over the death of his little daughter
Olga, weakened him so that when illness set in he was not strong enough to resist it.
With true Christian courage and in full consciousness he received the Last Sacraments and
religious consolations of his church, just a few hours before he breathed his last, Monday,
June 3rd at 10 P. M.

Mr. Decoux was thirty-five years old and a resident of this City for many years. Ten years
ago he married Miss Mina Bernard; of their union three children were born: Sadie, Olga and
Murat. Two months ago little Olga died, thus breaking the first link in the happy little
family circle, and now the father has gone to meet her, leaving his brave young wife to care
for the other two children who remain to comfort her. Mr. Decoux was a man of sterling
qualities, energetic and courageous. Quiet in his ways though cheerful always; he was a loyal
true friend, and absolutely devoted to his home and family. The community sadly deplores his
untimely death and offers deepest sympathy to the family and in particular to his wife in this
her double sorrow. May the Great Comforter bring peace and courage to the grief-stricken heart.
