APOPLEXY DEALS SUDDEN DEATH TO CULTURED LADY

A feeling of intense sorrow, and appreciation of great loss to the 
community, followed the announcement Thursday evening that Miss Alice 
Latour, the noted musician, head of the Opelousas Academy of Music, had been 
stricken dead with apoplexy, at her residence in Opelousas.

Miss Latour had been indisposed for some weeks, suffering with malarial 
fever, but on the day of her lamented death showed signs of convalescence, 
and was able to be up and about. At about one o'clock she complained of 
feeling worse, and retired. Shortly after, while her mother was procuring 
medicine for her, a noise of distress was heard issuing from the sick bed, 
and upon the mother rushing to the side of her daughter found that she had 
breathed her last.

Physicians assign apoplexy as the immediate cause of death.

Miss Latour was widely known throughout this section. She was a most 
accomplished musician and musical teacher, and her place in the community 
will be hard to fill.


Additional Comments:
Miss Alice Latour is buried in section 7 of the Saint Landry Catholic Church 
cemetery located in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana.
