DEATH OF MRS. J. B. FONTELIEU.

One by one the old lamdmarks of New Iberia are passing away. Last Monday at 
the residence of her daughter, Mrs. A. Bergerie, there passed to the great 
beyond the soul of Mrs. Jean Baptiste Fontelieu. Deceased was a native of 
Louisiana, born 90 years ago. She was of the numerous Miguez family, one of 
those driven to our shores by the cruel edicts of Great Britain, during the 
Acadian exodius. Her husband, Jean Baptiste Fontelieu was a native of France 
and died many years ago, leaving a widow, subject of this sketch, with a 
family of boys and girls to raise, which she did with great care and 
success, inculcating the best of principles which her family have ever 
retained. Hon. Theodore Fontelieu, ex-Judge of this District and politician 
of note was her eldest son, now deceased. Mr. Alpha Fontelieu another son 
still lives and is a shrewd business man of large means. Mrs. A. Bergerie, a 
daughter, survives her mother while a number of grand children remain to 
bless her memory. Hon. Charles Fonteileu, late U. S. Marshal, now deceased 
was her grandson, also Albert Fonteileu still living. Mrs. J. B. Lawton, is 
also a grand daughter, while a great number of great-grand-children are 
among the descendents of this truly good woman, whose life was spent in 
cheering the way and smoothing the rough places in the lives of her dear 
ones. The funeral was held at the Catholic Church, conducted by Fathers 
Frohn and Jonan and attended by a large concourse of friends who cherish her 
many virtues and who sincerely exclaim "Peace to her Ashes."
