Death Of an EstlmabIe Lady.

Mrs: A. Curtis, we'll known in our
parish and beloved by all who knew her,
died Sunday, May End, at her plantation
home at Curtis, where she had spent
practically all of her life. She was laid
to rest in St. Joseph's Catholic Gene
terry, in Shreveport. A large gathering
of friends attended the funeral services
to pay last sad tribute to one who had
spent such full and useful life. ....
The beautiful floral offerings attested
to the high esteem in which she was held.
Another touching scene was the pres
ence Of large number of darkies-some
of them old family slaves = who were
present to witness this last sad rite.
Mrs. Amy Curtis was the daughter of
Mr.. Michael Latter of this parish.
While quite young she married Andrew
Jackson Stacey. One child was born
from this union-J. M. Stacey, now of
Curtis. After Mr.. A. J. Stacey's death
Mrs. Stacey remarked a widow for sew
eral years. She then married Antonio
Curtis, by whom she is survived.
Besides husband and one son, there
is sister, Mrs. Julia Caldwell, and five
grandchildren left to mourn her death.
The deepest sympathy is extended
these broken hearted ones in these fol-
lowing lines:
| Yes, broken hearts, know your hearts are sore
But she'd wish you to be glad as CT yore.
She was always with you in her happy, useful
days;
For your good deeds she was ever ready with
words OF praise.
Broken hearts, she cheered you oft in sorrows
hour;
| She will watch and cheer you now from Heavens
| tower.
Spiritually guide you through your future years.
Broken hearts, weep.not as yesterday;
| For with the angels she is happy.
| All! she heard unafraid, grim Death, Gods
| angel say,
"He giveth rest;" for low! she wakened not at
day.
Her quiet peaceful death bespoke her life;
For quietly and peacefully she met every strife
Broken hearts, weep not long, pray;
She, with the angels, is singing joy song to-day
| Listen, hear you not its own echo?
Let it guide your footsteps here below.
Broken hearts, you must grieve no more;
| Scatter sunshine where'er you go;
| For in her world sorrow neer will be known
IT'S here We find the needy, the sad and the lone
Broken hearts, feel sad and forgotten no more
She waits you on that mystic, golden shore;
So live by the advice that she has given;-
| That you may all meet again in Heaven.
Broken hearts, she guided you here; she goe.
| before you there;
But there, not here she holds the crown SHE
| wishes you to wear.
Never let Duty vainly call you down this patti
| you tread;
But let Hope bravely smile again, while Low.
