passed to the great beyond last Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock, surrounded 
by his large family of brothers and sisters. Mr. Miguez was for many years

Ernest Miguez, the veteran chef and restaurateur, died at his home on upper 
Main street on Wednesday night. He was an invalid from Bright's disease for 
many months. His illness compelled him to surrender one of the finest 
restaurants ever established in this city. As a cook his fame extended far. 
Through his art he appealed to the faculty in men which causes them to 
return. Thus, he built a very extensive reputation for his Creole kitchen. 
He was generous by nature and provided liberally for his family.

His death and lost presence in this community are deeply regretted by a very 
broad circle of acquaintances and friends. The Iberian extends its 
sympathies to the bereaved family.
