FATHER JOUAN DEAD.

Eminent Catholic Priest Expires at New Iberia.

Catholics in St. Landry parish will be grieved to learn of the death of Rev. 
Father P. M. Jouan, which occurred at New Iberia on last Monday morning.

Father Jouan was Pastor of the Catholic church at Washington, this parish, for 
fifteen years, and while there endeared himself to the whole people, his 
earnest work for Christianity and his many deeds of charity marking him as a 
learned and good man.

He accepted the appointment to the Immovable Rectorship at New Iberia in 1891. 
There he has devoted his life to the upbuilding of the church and the people, 
and his devotion and unselfishness is shown by the fact that he died without 
leaving an estate, although the parish at New Iberia is one of the richest in 
the State, and it would have been an easy matter for him to have acquired 
property. He devoted all of his income to the poor and to the church.

Father Jouan was born in Britanny, France, in 1844, and came to this country 
whan (sic) yet a young man.

Additional Comments:
NOTE: Rev. Father P. M. Jouan is buired at the Saint Peters Cemetery in New 
Iberia, Iberia Parish, LA.
