St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, LA) Jan. 23, 1915, page 1
Miss Lass Dies Suddenly.

Miss Olympia Lass, only daughter of Mrs. D. Lass, a well known and highly 
respected boarding house keeper of this city, died suddenly at her mother's 
home on last Monday night. Miss Lass was 43 years of age and was the picture of 
good health up to one hour prior to her death, when she was seized with violent 
pains. Physicians were summonded, three responding to the call, but when they 
arrived Miss Lass had practically expired, although they tried everything 
imaginable to bring her back to life.

Miss Lass was a devout Catholic, being a leading member of the Altar Society of 
the St. Landry Catholic Church. She was the companion of her aged mother and 
her departure will indeed leave a gloom, never to be effaced at the Lass home. 
She will be remembered by her many friends and acquaintances as a good 
Christain and splendid citizen.

Her remains were interred a the the Catholic cemetery on Tuesday morning, where 
Father Engerink spoke feelingly of the splendid character of the dead lady.

Additional Comments:
Olympia and her mother are both buried in the St. Landry Catholic Church 
cemetery in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, LA.
