MRS LOUISA OERTLING, A NOBLE WOMAN AND LEADER IN CHARITY PASSES AWAY

Mrs Louisa C Oertling, widow of Henry Oertling, died yesterday at her residence 
number 2214 Bienville Ave, at the age of 83 years.

A native of Heilbronn, Wurttemberg, Germany, she came to this city sixty years 
ago with a relative, and in the year 1848 became the wife of Henry Oertling, 
then a prominent businessman, and they lived together happily for forty-three 
years, rearing a large family of sons and daughters and lovingly united until 
the death of Mr Oertling about fifteen years ago.

Mrs Oertling was most kind and charitable, always concerned in an active manner 
in all works of altruism and benevolence and was known as a true friend of the 
orphan. For thirty-five years she was treasurer of the Ladies Aid Association of 
the German Protestant Orphan Asylum and of the German Old Folks Home. At every 
annual festival of the Volksfest she was prominently identified with the many 
activities in aid of the worthy cause, and she kept her associations with these 
various organizations up to very recently, when old age and infirmities 
compelled her to remain at home. Ten days ago Mrs Oertling suffered a stroke 
with paralysis and was unconscious for the greater part of the time until her 
demise occurred yesterday afternoon.

She leaves seven children - William C Oertling of this city, connected with the 
lumber business; Mrs G C Alexius of Covington, LA; Mrs H A Byerum of Olathe, CO; 
Miss Frederika of New Orleans; Fred Oertling of San Francisco, CA; Gus Oertling, 
Secretary and Treasurer of the Jackson Brewery; Mrs Joseph Odenwald, New 
Orleans; twenty-five grandchildren and five great grandchildren.

The funeral will take place from her late residence this afternoon, at 3 PM, and 
the remains will be laid to rest in the family tomb in the Fireman's Cemetery.
