MRS. OSCAR J. DURAND.

Death, always sad and distress
ing, is rendered doubly so when
a beloved wife, a cherished
daughter and loved sister sur
renders. Such was the case last
Tuesday, when Mrs. Oscar J. Du-
rand breathed her last at the
home of her parents at Patout-
Vile, La. Born in Iberia Parish
thirty-six years ago; the daugh-
ter Of Hypolite Patout and Celie
Romero, members of two of the
most prominent families Of this
section. Deceased was reared in
this community where her kindly
nature and sunny disposition en-
deared her to- all with whom she
came in contract; and as Miss
Lydia Patout, she was a recog
nized leader in all social matters.
Some twelve years ago, she was
married to Mr.. Oscar j. Durand,
then a prominent planter of st.
Martin Parish, and with her hus-
band resided for a while in the
beautiful old home on st. John
plantation. Her health failing
however, her devoted husband
disposed of his planting interest
and removed to Albuquerque and
later to Demming, New Mexico,
where it was hoped that the dry
atmosphere and high altitude
would soon overcome the ravages
of disease. For eight years,
bravely and valiantly she fought
her battle, but finally realizing
the futility of her efforts she
sought and obtained her husbands
consent to come home where she
thought that the loving care and
attention of her loved ones would
alleviate her suferings. Ac-
companied by her aunt, Mrs. s.
O. Nuckolls, she arrived at Pa
toutville last August and with |
the same courage and fortitude
which ever marked her life, she
summoned her old spiritual ad
visor and friend, Father Girault
who made preparation for the m
evitable, and patiently awaited
the end. Due to the absence Of
her husband in New Mexico, the
remains were held at the family
home until Friday morning at
10 80 when cortage, composed
Of hundreds of sorrowing, friends
Joined the grief stricken family
in solemn procession to st. Mich
olas church where impressive
Catholic services were conducted
by Father Girault and the re-
mains then entombed in the Pa
tout vaults. Besides her hus-
band, father and mother, Mrs.
is survived by three
brothers: Messrs. Dry Patout, mer-
chant Of Patoutville Oswald Pa
tout, assistant cashier Bank Of
Jeanerette and Sch Patout, as
sistant manager Enterprise plan.
Fation; and two sisters, Mrs.
Westlev Pole of Jeanerette and
Mrs. DIR. Faisin Of Dallas, Tex.
Another sister, Miss Eunice Pa
bont, died in Patoutville just two
years ago.

Postmaster SilviO Broussard
is in receipt of a communication
from officials at Washington, D.
G., authorizing him to have all
of the beautiful lights in the
front of the Post Office lighted
every night in accordance with
the wishes of the members of the
Civic League of New iberia. Ev-
cry since this ornamental Govern
ment building has graced the
corner Of Main and Weeks
Streets, many of our citizens
wondered why the lights encir-
cled in the large white globes had
not been turned on at nights to
beautify the front of the build
ing, some even complaining
about the darkness at that par
ticular spot. We are more than
pleased at the result attained by
the Civic League, as it shows
conclusive1y the need here of an
organization of that nature.
Since these ladies have banded
themselves together for the City's
welfare they have accomplished
several laudable undertakings,
among them being the, embenish-
ing of the Parish property; be-
sides their activity in trying to
have this City receive its share
