St. Landry Clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, June 02, 1906, Image 3

Death of Mrs. Des. Mizzi.

Mrs. Lena Marie Domengeaux, beloved wife of Des. Mizzi, died at the family 
residence, in Opelousas, on Monday evening, May 28, 1906, at 3:55, aged 21 
years and 10 months.

The news of the death of this highly esteemed and lovable woman fell like a 
dark cloud cast o'er a noonday sun in the community. The hearts of stout men 
mingled in sympathetic accord with those of weaker women, the sadness of the 
untimely death of the sweet young wife, just budding into mature womenhood, 
as the cherished blessing of motherhood had just dawned and made life 
another - one beaconed with Love and Hope - appealing to the tender feelings 
of all alike.

Mrs. Mizzi had been very sick for several weeks, but her robust constitution 
and the tender care of the anxious and devoted relatives and friends were 
relied upon to stay the chilling hand of death, and the announcement of her 
death was a shock to her host of loving kin and friends.

The remains were interred in Breaux Bridge on Tuesday evening, leaving here 
on the morning train for Lafayette, and going from there to Breaux Bridge by 
team, where the interment took place in the Catholic cemetery, after the 
rites of the Catholic church had been performed.

The cortege was followed to the train by the members of the Improved Order 
of Red Men, of which order Mr. Mizzi is an ardent member, and an escort of 
six, composed of Sachem R. Lee Wiggins, Junior Sagamore Dave Hollier, Chief 
of Records Jesse Barnett, and Chiefs Eugene Bercier, L. Austin Fontenot and 
Chas. Thibodeaux, accompanied the body to Breaux Bridge.

The grief-stricken ones have the heartfelt sympathy of the Clarion, as well 
as of the entire community.
