From the Lafayette Advertiser
June 28, 1890 pg 5 col 4

Died-  At the Catholic Presbytery, in New Iberia, on Friday, June 20th, 
1890, at 8:30 o’clock, p.m., REVEREND FATHER CLAUDE JACQUET, aged 55 years; 
born at La Pacaudiere, Loire, France.
     His remains were buried in the Roman Catholic Church at New Iberia on 
the afternoon of June 22nd, a fitting monument of his worth, as it was 
erected almost entirely by his endeavors.  The thousands who gathered at 
his funeral from all sections of the country, to pay the last sad tribute 
of respect, attest how wide and deep was the veneration and love he had inspired.
