Died, at her home in Loreauville, La., on the 9th inst at twelve o'clock M., 
Mrs. Dorsey Prince, surrounded by her sorrowing children. In the demise of 
this good lady the community loses a shining example of christian virtue and 
christian charity, and her children a devoted and most affectionate mother, 
and to them we extend our heartfelt sympathy.

Last Tuesday, at her late home in Fausse Pointe, Mrs. Dorsey Prince, nee 
Emelie Broussard, died after an illness of some three weeks.

Deceased was the mother of a large family; the oldest of the children being 
J Eugene Prince, who is Justice of the Peace of the 4th Ward, and who is 
well known throughout Iberia Parish and has a host of friends.

Mrs. Prince was the daughter of Belizaire Broussard; being a sister of Mrs. 
Vileor Prince and of Mrs. Joseph Prince. At the time of her death, she was 
sixty-three years of age. Besides Judge Prince, Mrs. Pince is survived by 
the following children, namely: Charles and Silvio Prince and Mrs. Adonis 
Gonsoulin, Mrs. Achille Boutte, Mrs. Wickliffe Barras and Mrs. Oscar, 
Molbert.

All those who had the good fortune to know Mr. Dorsey Princee remember that 
he was indeed a prince among his fellow men. H was possessed of rare 
qualities both of mind and heart and he never failed daily to practice the 
good christian doctrine of charity. This good man, however, was not destined 
to live long: and, at a time when all his children were yet small he died, 
leaving to the mother the arduous duty of caring for and rearing the seven 
children then of tender years.

Mrs. Prince was not a "Modern Woman." She was a good Creole Christian 
Mother, who devoted her life to the proper rearing of her dearest ones. With 
that courage known only to the women who love as she did and who knew what 
duty commands, she made of those young children men and women who today are 
not only loved by those who are also respected, and whose advice and council 
are often sought by many friends.

It does not and can not fail to the lot of all men to be called to the doing 
of great things; and among those that are called, many are unequal to the 
responsibility. It is a mistake for women to seek to explore the field of 
mankind a thereby neglect their own. In the lives of such women as Mrs. 
Dorsey Prince is written in legible letters that in the proper sphere of 
women kind, after all, lies the greatest glory of womanhood. It is their 
lives and examples that make this world better. But for the effort of such 
women and mothers, our world is empty and mankind damned.

Mrs. Dorsey Prince has done her task and deserves Heaven, where she now is. 
Let young women emulate her. - A Friend.
New Iberia, La., August 9th, 1903.
