Well Known Woman Passes Away

Mrs. Bathilde Fontenot Wallior, a native of this parish, being born and 
reared in Chataignier, died at Baton Rouge last Saturday after a lingering 
illness of several months.  The body was brought to Opelousas and Sunday 
evening was interred in the cemetery at that place.  Mrs. Wallior was a 
daughter of the late T.S. Fontenot, for many years sheriff of St. Landry, 
and a sister of the present sheriff of that parish, D.M. Fontenot.
Deceased was about 47 years of age.  She had many relatives and friends 
in this parish who will be pained to learn of her death.  Those who knew 
her say she was a most excellent woman.  She is survived by two daughters, 
Mrs. E. Guidry of Houston, Texas, and Mrs. W. Cade of Sulphur, La.  Other 
near relatives are two sisters, Mrs. B. Crawford of Baton Rouge and 
Mrs. B. Lafleur and four brothers, Ludovic, Darius, Ariel and Joe Fontenot, 
all of St. Landry parish.
