The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1883-02-03

| The nuptials of Miss Mollie e. Folse
aud Mr.. Desire P. Landry, both of AS
| sumption parish, were celebrated at
Napoleonvilie last Tuesday evening, the
3Oth ultimo. Miss Folse is one-of As
sumption's most charming bellies, the
| daughter Of Mr.. Ulysse Folse of Napo-
leonville, and the fortunate groom is a
popular resident of one of the upper
| wards Of onl0 neighboring parish. We
trust their suspicious union will be pro-
ductive of much happiness and that they
will live long to bless the day whose
sun dispelled the illusion of single blessed
ness and shone upon the first moments of
their new life.
Under the skillful brushes of Giugry,
the Painter,n and his assistants, the j.
J. Claverie residence has been metamor-
phosed from its recent dingy appearance
into condition of brightness not ex-
ceeded by the lustre of q new pin.
Friend Gingry has executed this job in a
manner that should recommend him to
all who have any work in the painting
line. We are glad to hear that he has
secured contract to paint the store
building owned by Mr.. Leon Godchaux
and occupied by Mr.. A. D. Vega, other
wise Cheap Tony; and, furthermore, that
he will soon have new paint-shop built
+ alongside the Godchaux building, either
on Mississippi street or Railroad Avenue.
1t becomes our painful duty to an
nounce the death of Mr.. George Kenner,
only son Of Hon. Duncan f. Kenner,
which occurred at the Ashland mansion,
in this parish, on Tuesday last, the 3Oth
of January, at 10 o'clock N. Deceased
was only about 30 years of age, and was
young man who inherited his fathers
distinguished abilities to a marked de-
gree. He had been ill for about two
months, and the skill of our leading
physicians was exerted in vain to save
hism... He leaves q father, two sisters, a
wife and child to lament his untimely
death. The funeral took place on We'd
nestlay, the remains being deposited in
the Bringier tomb at the Donaldsonville
Catholic cemetery.
Sister Mary Austin, the aged and uni
versally beloved Superioress Of the st.
Vincent Institution in Donaldsonyille,
has been lying at deaths door for, some
days and her pure and gentle spirit is
likely to pass away at any. moment.
Sister Austin is about 70 years of age and
has been here 40 years or more. Many
of the settled matrons of this town and
parish were her pupils in their child
hoods days, and she is loved and es-
teemed by the entire community. Though
she has attained an age when the sum-
mons of the Angel Of Death is to be ex-
pected, and although she will go to meet
the reward which belongs to those whose
earthly lives have been devoted to good
works, there will be a feeling of general
SORROW in this community when it is
known that she has gone from among us.
Our esteemed friend, Mr.. VIM. B. Sharp,
has removed to Plaqnemines parish,
where no has obtained a position IS man
ager of Mr.. Bradish Johnson's Bellevue
plantation. A postal card from friend
Willie informs us of the safe arrival and
good health Of himself and family. We
have viewed their removal from Assem-
sion with sincere regret, bnt we hope the
change will inure to their advantage, and
that they will enjoy health and happi-
ness galore in their new home. Mr..
Sharp@;s a competent, experienced and
conscientious manager, and we have no
donbt he will give the most complete
satisfaction in his present position. He
comes about as near being without faults
as any man we know of, and richly de-
serves the choicest blessings that tickle
Dame Fortune can bestow apon her
favoritcs.
