Mrs. Constance Martel, a pioneer resident of this parish, died at the home 
of her daughter, Mrs. Ambroise Goudeau, at Mallet, on July 22, at the 
venerable age of 96 years. Born in the parish of St. Martin in 1825, the 
deceased married the late L. D. Verret in 1852, and established her 
residence in this parish, where she reared a family of nine children, five 
of whom died in early life. Her living children are C. D. Verret, Benjamin 
Verret, Mary, wife of Ambroise Goudeau, and Henry Verret. Mrs. Verret had 
twenty-four grandchildren and forty-four great grandchildren.

The deceased was the sister of Eugene Martel, Balthazar Martel, and Amedee 
Martel, prominent figures in the political history of St. Landry parish, and 
an aunt of Sully Martel of Franklin.

Always a staunch christian, Mrs. Verret was laid to rest on July 23, in the 
family cemetery at Mallet, with the rites of the Catholic church.
