With every available equipage in

all that remained mortal of Pedro R.
Jane was laid to rest in a newly

ship that was retained for his mem
ory.
Pedro r. Jane was a native of
Pascagoula, and at the time Of his
death he was 80 years, 9 months
and q days old. After attending
the local schools he completed his
education at the. St. Stanislaus COL
lege, Bay St. Louis, following which
he returned to this city to make his
permanent home. About eight years
ago he connected himself with the
Merchants & Marine Bank of this
city in a clerical position, and was
assistant cashier at the time of his
death.
Pedro Jane was a home-loving
man of an excellent type, and had
two hobbies that he INDUCED him
self. These were the raising of
Indian runner ducks and the pleas
ures of motor boat. In both of
these he had fully informed him
self, and proved to be expert in his
pleasures the same as in his more
serious undertaking in life. He was
an active member of the local lodge
of Elks, and was prominent in the
deliberations of that organization.
He had recently connected himself
with the Woodmen or the World,
and the two organizations appealed
strongly to him in their teachings
and practices.
-Four years ago on July %, he
married Miss Dora Nelson, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. Nelson of this
city, by whom he is survived, to-
gether with one brother, Edmond j.
Jane, president Of the Merchants
and Marine Bank, and two sisters,
Mrs. j. w. Cox ard Mrs. Adam
Cautier, both of this city. Many
other more distant connections and
a host of friends remain to mourn
the loss of young man who gave
every promise in life of fulfilling the
highest estimate of his most partisan
well wisher.
Pedro Jane was one of those quiet,
unostentatious young men whose
best friends never knew from him
what charitable action prompted his
movements, but those of the city
and community who are in touch
with the needy and their relief
are authority for the state
