DIED. - JARREAU - At the family residence, corner of Fourth and 
St. James streets, Alexandria, La., on Friday, April 16, 1915, 
at 7:08 a. m., Elizabeth Barrett Jarreau, aged 42 years, beloved 
wife of Rollo C. Jarreau. Services were conducted at the 
residence at 4 o'clock by Rev. W. Lennie-Smith, Rector of Christ 
Episcopal Church, after which the procession moved to Mt. Olivet 
cemetery, Pineville, where interment was made.

This estimable lady was seriously ill for about three weeks 
before her death. She bore her sufferings with great fortitude,
and fully realized that the end was near. She was resigned to 
what was to happen, and was ready in peaceful trust to meet her 
Maker. The most careful attention at the hands of her loved 
ones, and medical skill, were unable to stay the hand of Death, 
and she passed away, surrounded by those who loved her.

A lifelong member of the Episcopal church, she was a devoted 
worker in church and Sunday school circles. She had been a 
member of Christ Church, West Alexandria, since that church was 
established, and her thoughtful and loving activities will be 
sadly missed by this congregation.

She was born in this city on May 2, 1973 (sic), and was the 
eldest daughter of the late John M. and Mrs. Mary Barrett. Her 
entire life was spent in this city, her education being 
accomplished in this city and at the State Normal at 
Natchitoches, where she graduated with high honors. Her literary 
attainments particularly fitted her for newspaper work, she 
attending to the society news for the Town Talk for a number of 
years.

On June 14, 1892, she was united in marriage with Rollo C. 
Jarreau. Of this union there were two children - Miss Zulma 
Jarreau, at present engaged in teaching in the kindergarten 
department of the public schools of this city; and Roland, who 
lived but a few years.

Mrs. Jarreau is survived by her husband and daughter, Miss Zulma 
Jarreau; her mother, Mrs. John M. Barrett; and three sisters, 
Mrs. John M. Edgar, of Olivier, La., and Misses Sarah and Susie 
Barrett, of this city.

The death of Mrs. Jarreau has cast a shadow over the entire 
city, and the bereaved family has the sincere sympathy of the 
entire community. A lovely christian character, her memory will 
be cherished in fond remembrance by all who knew her. She was 
devoted to her husband and daughter, on whom the sad 
bereavement falls hardest. - Alexandria Town Talk.
