St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, February 15, 1919, Image 4

Mrs. Edward Mornhinveg, born Josephine Amy, died at the family residence in 
West Opelousas, on Wednesday morning last, from pneumonia, following an 
attack of influenza, aged 47 years, 10 months and 12 days, and was interred 
in the Catholic cemetery at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Mrs. Mornhinveg enjoyed the esteem of a large circle of friends, her 
sympathetic nature and kind ministrations in the time of need endearing her 
to all who had the good fortune to know her. She was an ideal housewife, a 
devoted helpmeet (sic) and an affectionate and indulgent mother. To husband 
and children her loss is indeed a calamity.

About three weeks before she took sick, her sister's family, as well as 
those of her nephews, were all prostrated with the prevailing influenza, and 
she was unremitting in her attentions to them until they were all well 
again. She had expressed the desire that she might not take sick until they 
had all recovered, in order that they might not be deprived of her care. In 
this respect her wish was gratified - she saw them all nursed back to 
health, and was then herself striken (sic), and after an illness of only 
five days, entered into the last long sleep that knows no awakening.

Despite the inclement weather, the funeral was largely attended, evidencing 
the esteem in which she was held by her friends and neighbors. She was a 
member of Opelousas Household No. 109, Columbian Woodmen, being one of the 
first ladies to join the order, the members of which attended the funeral in 
a body.

Besides her husband, she leaves three daughters to mourn her death: Mrs. E. 
D. Veillon, Mrs. E. M. Bordelon and Miss Lillian, to whom the Clarion 
extends its sincere condolence.

Card of Thanks.

We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to the friends and neighbors who 
assisted us during the recent illness and death of our wife and mother, and 
we wish to extend our special thanks to Dr. B. A. Littell and the trained 
nurse, Miss Bertha Barthe, who attended her during her last illness and who 
did all in human power to keep her with us. We can never forget the many 
kindnesses extended during this trying time, and the remembrance of those 
who aided us will ever be fresh in our memory.

EDWARD MORNHINVEG, AND DAUGHTERS.
