MISS LAURA DEJEAN IS CALLED BY DEATH

Venerable Old Lady Crosses The Great Divide After Short Illness.

On last Monday morning at 5:30 o'clock there passed into the Great Beyond, the 
pure and beautiful soul of Miss Laure Dejean, 77 years, 3 months and 12 days, 
daughter of the late J. B. Dejean, a pioneer settler of Leonville.

Miss Dejean, who had always led a pure and religious life, was ready to die 
long before Death beckoned her to join the great majority, she had received all 
consolation of religion and succumbed to a peaceful death. She was a devoted 
Christian, being a faithful member of the Catholic Church.

The venerable old lady was loved, honored and revered by all her nephews and 
nieces, as well as all who came into contact with her. She was a sister-in-law 
of Judge Arthur Simon and greatly assisted Mr. and Mrs. Simon in rearing the 
Simon children. She was like a real mother to all of them and each one was 
raised with a heart full of love and devotion for Miss Dejean.

The interment was made on the Catholic cemetery, where a large concourse of 
friends and relatives of the deceased assembled to pay their last tribute to 
one of the noblest old ladies of the community.
