Ledger-Dispatch  December 13, 1918
DOUBLE FUNERAL
At St. Mary’s Catholic church  tomorrow morning, will be held the funeral of two 
French merchant sailors, Francoise Merrellic and Jean Baptiste Lificresiter, who 
died of influenza at St. Vincent’s hospital, where they were sent from their 
ship, together with fifteen or twenty other of their shipmates suffering from 
the same disease. These two men were formerly in the French army - are heroes of 
Mons and other famous battlefields, and they remained in the army until 
incapacitated from wounds received in action, being then transferred to the 
merchant marine, which was greatly in need of men. The funeral procession, with 
an escort of French merchant seamen, will proceed from the funeral apartments of 
P. B. Warren, 322 East Freemason street, to St. Mary’s church. The funeral 
arrangements are being made under direction of the French consulate. The burial 
will be in St. Mary’s cemetery.
