A TRIBUTE. - A just tribute to a woman's beautiful life contains three chief
events: born, married, died.

Mrs. Sidney B. DeBellevue, nee Felicia DeBlanc, was born twenty-seven years
ago, was married seven years ago, and died seven days ago.

Felicia DeBlanc entered this life at the family home in New Iberia, grew up
to girlhood a shining sunbeam of joy and inspiration to her parents and
friends, was educated in the St. Joseph's Academy at Bay St. Louis under the
care, direction and influence of those saintly women who give their lives to
the Master's work. She was of a deeply religious nature, and loved the
offices of her church. As charitable as devout, many live to bless the
ministry of her hands. As companionable as a beautiful soul, a clean heart
and cultivated mind can make a woman, she was loved by all who were 
fortunate enough to know her. With everything to live for, a beautiful home, 
a worshiping husband whom she most devotedly loved, a dear little girl just
budding for womanhood, yet when she became aware of her fast approaching
dissolution, she found strength, to cheer her family, comfort her husband,
and meet the call of her Maker with a smile and perfect trust.

God's ways are most mysterious and finite mind may not probe the why's of
infinite decree. We may never know why such women so sadly needed by life,
so richly deserving of life, are called beyond, when life holds so much to
be lived for; while so many are left that are a menace to peace, good will
and righteousness.

The King of Life had touched her face
And grew a smile,
The sunshine loved to linger around her mouth
Most all the while;
The radiance of her beaming face
Made light the day,
For those whose precious privilege it was
To pass her way.
We feel that Providence to us
Was most unfair,
To let our days run into many years,
And she not there;
May God who loved and called her home
At our great cost.
Teach us to live our lonesome days
Without our loved, our lost. - Leo. D.
