Death of Mentor Andrus.

At eleven o'clock, on September 17th, 1912, Mentor Andrus passed from this 
life.

He had led a useful life to the age of 67 years, 11 months and 4 days.

Merchant, farmer, politician, he was well-known, and well-liked, - well-
like, for he was genial in disposition, charitable, and good.

Mr. Andrus had been ill for some years, living with his son, Deputy Tax-
Collector A. L. Andrus.

He knew the end was near, and awaited it with stoicism.

"When shall we kill the sick?" Now a question being pondered over by great 
physicians, was not considered a minute in the case of Mentor Andrus.

His faithful son, and that son's faithful wife, watched over the fleeting 
soul, just as they would watch over one with power of recuperation - just as 
they would over one that the Court of Death had not pronounced final 
sentence: "Go and meet thy Maker."

Mr. Andrus for many years was a resident of Grand Coteau, where he enjoyed 
popularity and affluence. That community, as well as this, mourn his loss.

The remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery, in Opelousas, on 
Wednesday. A large concourse of people followed them to their last resting 
place.
