St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, July 27, 1912, Image 5

Mrs. Jas. O. Chachere.

"Count each affliction, whether light or grave, 'tis God sent it down to 
thee."

That is the philosophy, the heart solace, of Aubrey deVere-it is the 
teaching of Holy Writ.

The thought is doubtless a solace in a way. But how can grief be sedate, 
equable, plaint even to the lesson taught by the words of the Almighty, when 
the loved one - the mate of a life-time, the sun of one's heart and the 
flower of one's heart and the flower of one's existence - lies in the chill 
embrace of Death? The marble-white face, the still form, the veiled head and 
feet, the clammy shroud, the folded hands, the shimmering holy candles in 
ghostlike fits and spirts - Oh! where is the heart stout enough to wrap 
itself in the mantle of Omnipotent Will and say: "It is God's work, I am 
content?"

Mrs. Mary Constance Beauchamp, wife of James O. Chachere, died at the family 
residence, in Opelousas, on Saturday July 20th, 1912, aged 58 years, 10 
months and 13 days. The funeral took place at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon; 
services at Catholic church, intermint in Catholic cemetery.

The good woman had been ill for some months, and her death was not 
unexpected, She had been lingering between life and death for several weeks.

The end came peacefully, with her family gathered around her bedside.

Mrs. Chachere was a truly noble woman, loved by all, and loving all.

Deceased was married to Mr. Jas. O. Chachere in March, 1877, and together 
they lived in examplary happiness. Four children were born to the union, two 
boys and two girls. Two survive, Mr. Chas. B. Chachere and Dr. R. B. 
Chachere.

The family has the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
