St. Landry Democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878 - 1894, July 30, 1892, Image 4

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. C. C. Duson died Sunday, July 17, 1892, at San Antonio, Tex., where she 
had been sojourning for some months in search of health.

It is with deep and profound regret that we are called upon to chronicle the 
sad demise of this estimable lady. Mrs. Duson, whose maiden name was Isora 
Andrus, was the wife of our late Senator C. C. Duson, and was widely known and 
universally esteemed by all who had the good fortune to come in contact with 
her. To know her was to love her. Tender, devoted and true, of her be said, her 
life was one of unceasing usefulness. To the voice of grief she ever lent a 
willing ear; she gave encouragement to the fortorn and depressed, and faced 
courageously to the end the dread malady that had been for some time 
insidiously encroaching upon her useful life, until death, the unwearied 
worker, blew his icy breath upon her.

Her memory will ever be fresh in the hearts of her many friends. An indulgent 
mother, a devoted wife, a kind friend and a true Christian, she was the 
admiration of all.

To the bereaved husband and unhappy and motherless children we extend our 
sincerest sympathy in their severe affliction. Theirs is no common bereavement: 
and though it is said that Time softens grief, yet the weight of woe is none 
the less felt when grim Death enters a happy household and robs it of one of 
its most beloved inmates. Would that we could pour into their bleeding bosoms 
the balm of consolation; but God alone can comfort the afflicted.

After a well spent life, wherein truth, love of duty, honor and fidelity shone 
forth in all their splendor her journey ended, and she closed her eyes in 
death.

"Calmly as to a night's repose,
Like flowers at set of sun"

The remains were brought to Opelousas on Monday evening and interred in the 
Protestant Cemetery surrounded by a very large concourse of relatives and 
friends.
Sulya.
