Miss Melanie Jagou

Died, at the residence OF her
brother-in-law Lionel Bienyenu,
yesterday friday morning, at
l2:10 o'clock, Miss Melanie Ja-
gou. The funeral tok place Fri
day afternoon at 4 o'clock with
services at the Catholic Church
and interment in the Catholic
cemetery.
The death of this most estiina-
BILE lady has brought profound
sorrow to the entire community
and has touched with a heavy
hand her immediate family. To
the former she was an angel Of
charity and mercy and goodness
to the latter she Yves mother, Sis
ter aunt and friend. Though
stricken with illness for some
months past, her brave heart and
dauntless spirit sustained her to
the last, and only when death 3
shadow fitted across her noble
countenance did the cheerful
smile she had for every n van
ish forever.
Born in New Orleans ffty-four
years ago, she spent almost
her entire life here, surround
ed by a multitude of friends
and loving and affectionate rela-
tives. Her profession was that of
music teacher and to it she was
closely welded. Many a young
pupil who profted and advanced
under her kindly and intelligent
tutelage is saddened and grief
stricken over her death. To them
she was not only a teacher but a
friend and adviser and they all
loved her with an enduring and
sincere affection.
Her Christian life found its
greatest pleasure in deeds Of
charity and cheer and kindly
ministtrations, and the eonsol-
ing thought that her family and
friends can well feel is that
her gentle spirit has found
an eternal home with the Master
of us all.
Miss Jagou leaves two broth
sers, Mr.. Oscar Jagou of New Or
leans and Mr.. Hypolite Jagon
Of LAFAYETTE, and also a sister,
Mrs. Lionel Bienvenu of this
city. and several nephews and
