Death of Mrs. Jules Bourdier.

Mrs. Jules Bourdier, nee Bertha
Marie Mollere, died. at her home in
St. Vincent street at $3.50 o'clock
Tuesday night, aged 46 years. She
had been in poor health for some
time and it was known by her rela-
tives and close friends that the end
was near. Her passing, therefore,
was not unexpected; but the fore
knowledge of the sad event does not
in any way alleviate the grief of the
stricken family, but rather makes it
all the more poignant when they
think of the suffering their loved one
had to bear, from which no human
agency could give relief. The funeral
took place Wednesday forenoon at 10
O'clock, with services and interment
in the Catholic church and cemetery.
Mrs. Bourdier was native and life
long resident Of this city, and had a
wide circle of friends who deeply de-
plore her death and will long cherish
her memory She laaHes> to mourn
