Virginian-Pilot  August 29, 1953
LOUISE DEMAISON, FORMER TEACHER, SUCCUMBS AT 85

Miss Louise A. Maison, 85, French language teacher, who resided in Norfolk 43 
years and taught in St. George's School prior to 1918, was found dead yesterday 
afternoon in her home at 320 West 26th Street.  It is believed her death occurred 
several days before.

Born in Talence, France, August 22, 1868, she became a teacher of French in London 
before the turn of the century.  Later, she returned to Paris and not only taught 
the language, but also gave instructions in music.

She came to this country in 1902, settling first in Pittsburgh.  In 1910, she came 
to Norfolk and taught French at St. George's School until 1918, after which she 
became a private teacher.

During World War I, she was active in music circles, when she aranged numerous 
concerts and bazaars for the benefit of French war refugees.  She retained her 
French citizenship through the years.

As far as could be determined, she has no survivors in this country.

The body will be taken from the H. D. Oliver Funeral Apartments to Sacred Heart 
Catholic Church for funeral services today at 9 a.m.  Burial will be in St. Mary's 
Cemetery.
