DEATH OF HON. ANDREW THORPE.

After only a few weeks illness, Hon. Andrew Thorpe, a resident of New Iberia 
for about fifteen years passed to the great Beyond on Monday morning last at 
8:40 o'clock, at his home on Washington Avenue. Few in New Iberia were aware 
that the distinguished gentleman was confined to his room with an attack of 
pneumonia before it was reported that he had breathed his last, which came 
as a shock to his large circle of friends who was endeared to him since a 
resident of this City and as a practitioner at the bar. Deceased came to New 
Iberia from Alexandria where he had resided for a number of years, coming to 
this State from Kentucky where he was born. He was aged respectively 68 
years, and leaves to mourn his loss besides his widow, a step-daughter and 
grand-child. The funeral services were held at his late residence in the 
presence of a large number of sympathizing friends, the interrment being 
held at Rose Hill Cemetery on Tuesday morning. His widow has the deep 
sympathy of the entire community in the hour of her grief.
