DEMISE OF AUGUST IVY.
Death on Friday at the Family Home in Car.
roll Avenue of Well-Known and Prom
inent New Orleans Citizen, Who Had
Moved to This City.

Surrounded by his wife and daugh-
ters, on Friday afternoon of last week,
August Ivy breathed his last at the
family home on Carroll avenue, corner
of Dunbar avenue, after an illness ex-
tending over period of some time.
Mr.. Ivy had been in failing health for
quite while, although it was not
thought the final end was sonear when
dissolution set in, and his death was
quite a shock to his friends ard those of
the family. To recover his lost health,
some time since Mr.. Ivy and his wife,
who had visited their daughter here
from time to time, decided to move to
Bay st. Louis. Accordingly, they pur-
chased a building lot, and in time a spa
cious and conveniently appoin ted home
arose with the balsamic breath of the
pines ladening the zephyrs on one side
and the salt-permeated breezes from the
front giving invigorating air to the oc-
cupants. The healthful conditions,
such as only Bay st. Louis can offer,
proved beneficial to the patient, but in
time the inroads of the illness proved
master, while the age of the patient was
| against him. Fortifie ed by the last sac
raments of the Catholic church, his
spirit took flight on the afternoo of the
l4th inst. in the presence of his devoted
wife and loving daughters who had ad-
ministered to his wants with unceasing
devotion.
Friends of the Ivy and Letten fami-
lies paid their last respects to the dead
all during the night of Friday, and on
Saturday morning the remains were
taken to New Orleans, the former home,
where the last sad rites took place on the
same day in the afternoon from the fu-
neral parlors of Jacob Sheen &; Son, in
Elysian Fields street.
The funeral was largely attended, for
the deceased was prominently and well
known in New Orleans, where he had
resided SO long.
Being so we'll known in New Orleans,
the Daily Picayune of Saturday, in an
extended notice, gives tie following
obituary, which The Echo herewith re-
produces:
"The deceased was born in Natchi-
toches, La, seventy-four years ago,
and cam, - New Orleans when quite a
lad. He began in business by selling
the Daily Picayune in the early 40 IS.
and soon amassed enough with which to
open a bakery.
During the Civil War, and while
General Butler was in charge of the
city, he was seized by the Federel SOL
diers one day and his wagon load of
bread confscated and himself thrown
into prison, from which he was released
later on. After the war he did odd
things, but twenty years ago he entered
the employ of the firm of Williams
Richardson G. Co. and was conn ected
with the shipping department up to a
year ago, when old age and falling
health forced him to resign. Since then
Mr.. Ivy has lived at Bay st. Louis.
"He was one of the founders of the
Young Mems Benevolent Association,
which celebrated its fiftietE anniversary
on June IS past, and was also a member
of Mississippi No. 2, Volunteer Fire
Company. During his life he was
looked upon as a good father and hus-
band and had thousands of friends all
over the city, to whom the news of his
death will be great shock.
SHE is survived by his wife, who was
a Miss Josephine Creme before her
marriage; three daughters, Mines. A ].
Letten and D. Dedunes and Miss Laura
Ivy; six grandchildren and three great
grandchildren"
To the bereaved widow, to the daugh-
ters, Mrs. Letten and Miss Laura Ivy,
of Bay st. Louis, as well as to Mrs. De-
dunes, of New Orleans, and the other
sorrowing relatives we extend deepest
sympathy, joining with the host of
friends of the family.
