DIED: In this city on Saturday, December 23rd, 1916, at noon, Mrs. Thos. R. 
Gayle, next to the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Zenon Decuir. The funeral 
took place the next day from St. Peters Catholic Church largely attended by 
relative of the bereaved families and by their many sympathizing friends. 
The church was filled by those in attendance at the obsequies. Rev. J. M. 
Langlois officiated at the services. The pallbearers were Dr. G. J. 
Sabatier, Gus. Suberbielle, C. A. Provost, E. T. Weeks, Willie Patout, and 
Albert A. DeBlanc. Interment was made in St. Peters Cemetery.

The deceased is survived by her husband and only son, by her venerable 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Zenon Decuir; by her sisters, Mrs. E. T. Weeka (sic), 
Mrs. Willie Patout and Miss Zig Decuir, now residing in Texas, and Frank 
Decuir, the minute clerk of the 19th Judicial District Court, this city. She 
was a most estimable lady, loved by all who knew her. While she was ever 
ready to make any sacrifice for the loved ones of her own home, she was most 
exemplary in her devotion to her parents and her solicitude for their 
comfort in their declining years.

The orphaned son is a student at the Louisiana State University. He was 
summoned home by the critical illness of his mother, but ere he reached her 
side, her spirit had flown.
