Death, remorseless death, bias again
invaded our community and removed
from our midst, two OF the brightest
examples of wOmanhOod, As to Madam
John LIE Blanc, it is useless for me TO
portray her many virtues. Her name
and character, her deeds of beneVOlence,
aud above all her christian faith aud
fprtitude, are well known throughout
the parishes OF st. Landry, Acadia and
Calcasieu. where many heart will be
made sad, and many 9 bitter tesr will
fall on the receipt of the news that
Grandma John lie Blanc is no more.
IL was the sad duty Of the writer of
this article come years ago TO witness
her christian faith aud fortitnde nBder
the most trying circumstances IL WIS
when she was called upon TO resign into
the hands of the MOST High her two
noble boys within few days of each
other, her character shown ont Rt that
time with christian snblimity with 8
meekness and holiness bowling to the
DEGREES Of God thRt can never be sur
passed. She has left behind void for
Womanly virtues, charity and loving
nsss Of heart that never can be filed.
Ripe in years, pure in character as an
angel, surrendered BY her loved ones,
her spirit passed into the hands Of her
Maker, surely mother Of Israel has
departed,
Mary, who had been Mrs. lie Blanc
loving companion from . little girl, BY
oyer-exertion was taken down danger.
oGsly in, and at the time some were
preparing the body Of Mrs. John LIE
Blanc for the grave, other friends With
sad hearts and willing hands were
watchfnl around the bedside Of the
dying Mary, All thai loving hearts and
medical skill could do was done, bnt IL
was Of no avail and her true spirit took
its fight 10 lin her beloved companion
ia the realms Of eternal bliss. What
pen can portray the agony and the
anguish experienced BY poor Meteor biz
