St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, LA) Oct. 31, pg. 2
VENERABLE OLD LADY CALLED BY DEATH

Mr. Edouard Dubuisson Expires at the Ripe Old Age of 84 Years.

Mrs. Josephine Mirza Stagg, widow of the late Edouard Dubuisson, expired on 
last Sunday morning at the age of 84 years and 8 months, at the home of her 
son, Hon. E. B. Dubuisson.

Mrs. Dubuisson was connected with the most prominent families in Southwest 
Louisiana, being related to leading citizens of St. Landry, Acadia and 
Evangeline and Rapides parishes. She was a venerable old lady, enjoying the 
highest esteem of all those who knew her in her youth, as well as in her old 
days. In her girlhood days she was wedded to Edouard Dubuisson, who was at the 
time of his death one of St. Landry's leading merchants and planters.

Mrs. Dubuisson is the mother of Hon. E. B. Dubuisson, prominent lawyer, banker 
and planter, as well as several girls, who are married to leading men of this 
section, Miss Cora, being the only one not married.

Out of respect to the memory of the mother of the president of the Opelousas 
National Bank, the bankers of Opelousas in a body marched in the funeral 
procession, having closed their institutions during the hour of burial. 
Practically every business man in Opelousas attended the funeral ceremonies and 
many from the surrounding parishes and towns came to Opelousas on Monday 
morning to pay their last tribute to a noble old lady.

Father Engerbrink delivered an appropriate eulogy at the interment, pointing 
out that Mrs. Dubuisson was one of the old type of ladies of the good old 
times, she had raised a large and influential family and through her teachings 
and example had succeeded rearing an exemplary family.

Additional Comments:
Josephine Mirza Stagg is buried in the St. Landry Catholic Church Cemetery in 
Opelousas, LA. She was the daughter of Philippe Stagg and Josephine Guillory, 
both parents being buried in the Old Grand Prairie Cemetery.
