Died, at the family residence, in Opelousas, on Wednesday, November 26, 1908, at 9:25 o'clock p. m., Cora A. Lacombe, wife of Chas. Lafleur, aged 54 years, 11 months and 3 days. After months of intense suffering, a good and loving wife and mother, devout Christian and charitable woman, has gone to her final reward before the High Tribunal. During her agonizing suffering, caused by an incurable disease, Mrs. Lafleur held out ever a cheering hand, although conscious all the time that the end was only a question of a short time. Hers was true Christian fortitude, born of faith in the will of the Omnipotent God. Skilled medical attention and kind ministrations have been at her bedside ever since she was stricken, but neither availed. The devoted husband and children did all in their power to save her, and can feel that nothing was left undone that would tend to prolong life. Deceased leaves a husband, Mr. Chas. Lafleur; two sisters, Mesdames Emily Lacombe and John Fitch; one brother, Mr. Oscar Lacombe, and five sons and three daughters, to all of whom the heartfelt sympathy of the Clarion is extended. The funeral left the family residence at 3:30 o'clock Thursday evening, for the Catholic church, where the rites of that church were solemnized, after which the remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery.
