Death of Mrs. K. A. Aucoin.

One of the saddest deaths it has
been our painful duty to chronicle in
a long time was that Of Mrs. K. A.
Aucoin, nee Clara Leblanc, which oc-
Cured at the Touro Infirmarv in
New Orleans at o'clock Thursday
afternoon, following surgical oper-
alton performed few hours earlier.
Mrs. Aucoin failed to recover from
the effects of the anesthetic, and al
though a brave fight was made to re-
store her to consciousness, science
could not cope with nature and the
end came peacefully and painlessly.
Death is sad at all times, but when it
strikes unexpectedly and claims SO
shining a mark as this good and pure
woman, it is doubly hard to bear.
The remains were brought to Donald
sonville Friday afternoon and were
conveyed to the Aucoin home in Mis-
sissippi street, from whence the fu-
neral took place this morning at 9
O'Clock. Services We're held at As
cension Church, Rev. c. M. Chambon
officiating, after which interment was
made in the Catholic cemetery at
Plattenville. The obsequies were
largely attended, attesting the popu-
Iarity of the deceased, and her grave
was covered with numerous floral Of
ferings, the final tribute Of host Of
friends. Mrs. Aucoin was a devoted
wife and mother, and her children
rise up and call her beloved" Be
sides her husband she is survived by
three sons and one daughter, namely:
Messrs. Klebert Aucoin, of Donald
sonville, and Alvin and James Aucoin,
of Texas. and Mrs. E. D. Gre, of
New Orleans. Especial sadness at
tends the d1gmise Of Mrs n Aucoin BY
upon her granddaughter, little Edith
Rogge, who, nnotherless since her
birth, is now deprived as well of q
loving CRANE moi her whose arms and
heart have held her close since baby
hood. Every one III the community
has been touched with grief at the
passing of tbs lamentfffd woman, and
every heart ;oes outl.h sympathy to
the grief-stricken family.
