VIC J. POIRSON. - On Tuesday evening at 4:15 o'clock all that was mortal of 
Hon. Vic J. Poirosn passed to the Great Beyond. Mr. Poirson had been 
confined to his home at Jeanerette for several months, a sufferer from 
bright's disease and although his death was a great shock to the citizens of 
this Parish, his physicians held but little hope for his recovery. Deceased 
was a native of our sister town and was a son of the late Charles Poirson, 
also a worthy citizen of the above place. He held numerous positions of 
trust in his home town, and some years ago received the appointment of 
Assessor of the Parish, which position he filled with honor and credit. A 
few years later he accepted the appointment of Tax Collector under the 
administration of Sheriff Henderson and remained in the office until the 
expiration of Mr. Henderson's term. Being such a valuable and painstaking 
official when the office was officially turned over to Sheriff P. A. Landry, 
the trust was tendered again to Mr. Poirson, he remained there until his 
illness was such he was compelled to place himself under the care of a 
physician. The funeral was conducted from the St. Joseph Catholic church at 
Jeanerette on Wednesday afternoon in the presence of one of the largest out-
pouring of friends ever assembled to pay tribute to the loss of one of its 
fellow-citizens. He leaves to mourn him besides his widow, and daughter Mrs. 
Sidney Hebert, one brother, Mr. Charles A. Poirson and two sisters, Mrs. A. 
L. Provost of Jeanerette and Mrs. Robert Hall of Beaumont. The Enterprise 
extends its condolences to the family.
