DIED. - At her son's (Mr. T.A. Derouen's) residence, in Petite Anse, on 
Saturday, September 21st, at 9:45 P.M., Mrs. Eloi Derouen, (nee Melanie Landry) 
aged 89 years, after many years of patient suffering. This is a sad bereavement 
indeed, leaving 5 children, 46 grandchildren and 40 great grandchildren to mourn 
her loss. The deceased was well known in this section, having spent all her life 
here. Mrs. Derouen was a loving and devoted wife and mother, and kind neighbor, 
always ready to give a helping hand in sickness and distress. She was untiring 
in her endeavors to be a true helpmate to her good and industrious husband, who 
died 4 years ago. A worthy servant of the Lord, she devoted her time and life to 
the good of souls. As a good Catholic and by her pious devotion and many 
charitable qualities, she won the love and esteem of the entire community, who 
grieve and bitterly regret her death. She was buried, Sunday, September 22nd, at 
4 P.M. in the Broussard Cemetery, at Petite Anse, when a large concourse of 
mourners followed her remains to its last resting place. May she be numbered 
among the saints in Heaven is our last and earnest prayer.
