HON. JOHN D. WALET. - The unexpected death last Tuesday at New Orleans of 
Hon. John D. Walet cast a gloom over the entire Parish. Mr. Walet only a 
couple of days before, while at his home at Loreauville was taken suddenly 
ill with Appendicitis and in company with members of his family went to New 
Orleans to undergo an operation. A few hours after he succumbed. The remains 
were brought to his home at Loreauville for interment. At five o'clock on 
Wednesday afternoon at the Catholic church in charge of Rev. Solignac was 
filled to overflowing with grief-stricken friends and relatives who had 
assembled there to pay their last respects to the deceased. Mr. Walet was 
one of Loreauville's most enterprising citizens. He was engaged in 
merchandising and planting and was considered one of the most progressive 
citizens in Iberia Parish. Deceased always took the lead in movements 
calculated to benefit the farmers in his section. In fact his opinion and 
advice was much sought after by his acquaintances who appreciated his 
knowledge of farming and other business pursuits. Deceased was a member of 
the Elks Order of this City, the members of whom attended the funeral in a 
body. 

He leaves to mourn his demise a widow, nee Lydia Gonsoulin, three sons, 
Charles, Joseph and Louis, besides his aged father John D. Walet, Sr. and 
several brothers and sisters, Messrs. Pleney, Junius, Louis and Perry Walet 
and Mesdames George M. Germany, Gustave Bonin and Mrs. (Dr.) F. O. Darby all 
of Loreauville.

The friends of the family in New Iberia deeply sympathize with the family in 
this their hour of sorrow and grief.
