St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, June 11, 1910, Image 1

Miss Alice M. Labyche.

Prof. R. Mayer, Miss Alice Latour, Miss Alice M. Labyche.

The ranks of Opelousas' musical world loss much in the death of these three.

For many years they were the recognized leaders in the art of arts here. The 
sweet voices and charming music for which Opelousas is noted, is the result in 
a great measure to the efforts of these three - these three who have now joined 
the great chorus up above.

Their deaths occurred in amazingly quick succession. First the old Nestor of 
music here, Prof. Mayer, then Miss Latour, and now Miss Labyche.

Miss Alice M. Labyche died at the residence of Mr. H. E. Estorge, her relative, 
on Sunday evening, June 5th, 1910, at 6:45 o'clock p. m., aged 52 years, and 
the remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery, in Opelousas, on Monday 
evening, the 6th, at 4:30.

Miss Labyche was held in high esteem in the community, a fact which was shown 
by the large concourse of friends attending her funeral. A devout member of the 
Catholic church, a kind, charitable woman, sweet is disposition and pleasing in 
manner, she numbered the entire community as her friends.

Miss Labyche had been for many years leader of the choir at the Catholic 
church, and her death is a great loss to the congregation.

The Clarion extends condolences to the bereaved family.
