HOMER DELCAMBRE.

The sudden death of Mr. Homer Delcambre which occurred at his plantation home at
Derouen on Tuesday morning July 2d was a great shock to the people of this Parish.
Mr. Derouen had apparently been in the best of health and the morning of his death
suffered from a heart stroke and expired suddenly. He was a son of Michel Delcambre
and Marie David, who survive him. Deceased was a native of the Parish and in fact was
a leader among the members of his community. He was a very charitable gentleman and
his influence and good deeds amongst his people was one that others could well emulate.
Deceased served for four years as a member of the Police Jury and always took an active
interest in matters appertaining to the welfare of the Parish. Besides his grief-stricken
widow he leaves five children, namely, Mrs. Marc Derouen, Mr. Lillian Delcambre, Clarence
Delcambre and Miss Odette Delcambre. Several brothers and sisters also mourn his demise.
The funeral was conducted by Father Catherin of St. Peter's Catholic church in the presence
of a large concourse of sympathetic relatives and friends. The Enterprise extends its
condolences to the bereaved family.
