Dr. Pierre Dansereau. - The death of this eminent physician and 
distinguished citizen which occurred last Tuesday morning, has cast a gloom 
of sadness over this Town and Parish that the demise of none other could 
have caused. It has been about forty years since Dr. Dansereau emigrated to 
this State from Canada and settled some five miles above this town to 
practise his profession. He was a successful practitioner in that community 
for many yeaas (sic), when he purchased a plantation near Labadieville on 
which he resided until the close of the late war. He then removed to Brazil 
in South America where he remained some years after which he returned to 
Thibodaux and re-commenced the practise of medicine. His former friends and 
patrons, at once, began to call upon their old physician, and from his 
arrival he was constantly busy in the performance of his duties, ever ready 
and prompt to respond to any call made upon him. As a physician he had few 
superiors and his long experience gave him a through knowledge of the 
various phases of disease incident to this portion of Louisiana. As a 
citizen he was watchful, took a deep interest in any enterprise calculated 
to improve the public welfare, as a neighbor he was kind, charitable, 
hospitable, and fraternal, as a husband and father he was devoted and 
affectionate. Dr. Dansereau was twice married. From his first marriage he 
leaves several children, one of whom is in South America, another in Canada, 
one in this place and the others in New Orleans: from his second marriage he 
leaves two sons, one of whom is in Canada.

Dr. Dansereau lived and died a true Christian. In this fact his widow and 
children can find consolation and hope in this day of sorrow and trial.

The deceased was buried in St. Joseph's cemetery, where his remains will 
rest in peace until time shall be no more.
